Hi ya’ all – It was great to see some friendly faces in our kickoff webinar today, and meet a few new people, too! If you missed today’s webinar, here is the link. Please watch it – we are making some changes.

  1. Here is the new website where you can find important learning community information, including an annual timeline, the assessment tool, and whatever else you are looking for!
  2. Let us know when an External Observer can come to your organization by filling out this link. The first two organizations to fill out the link will get a prize! (And if you missed our webinar – we’re moving up this year, to encourage everyone to get their external observation done between October 20 – November 21).  
  3. If you are brand new to this whole YPQ-business, join us for a super helpful “jargon” training before you attend the October 16 & 17 event. Take your pick on which day to attend, both dates are the same content. You are welcome to also invite other staff from your organization!
    1. Finally, here is the participant agenda for the event on October 16 & 17. See you there at 10 am on Thursday. I’m going to be adding some parking information next week to the google doc, so stay tuned.

    Please reach out if you have questions.

    Hello SEL Learning Community! Your second year is about to begin! The facilitation team is gearing up for a wonderful year!

    Here are the key dates for your organization:

    • We’re holding a kickoff webinar on September 18th at 3 pm. The webinar is optional, but usually a helpful place to ask questions.
    • Our October convening is October 16 & 17 in Eugene.
    • Your internal assessment data will be due in Scores Reporter on Thursday, December 18.
    • Our January convening will be January 22 & 23 at Salishan.
    • Your three SEL PQA goals are due in Scores Reporter on Friday, February 13.

    We’ve made some changes this year. 1) We’re asking folks to consider hosting their External Observation earlier this year (if we can do it in October or November, great). 2) We’re going to be hosting three mini-conferences in the spring, so stay tuned for dates. 3) We’re planning to have a Methods trainer come out and train every organization once, so your team should think about what YPQ or SEL Methods workshop would be most useful. 4) We are no longer using Basecamp, but instead we will use this WordPress site.

    Stay tuned, more info will come! As always, you can reach out to me if you have questions! Best, Celeste
