    Collapse Revisiting Our Why?
    New Educator Weekend - Home Edition!
    We are in unprecedented times. Most, if not all, of us are struggling in one way or another. We are stressed. We are asking ourselves, “How long can I keep this up? Is this the right choice for me?” Many of us come out of teacher credential programs without fully diving into the pedagogy or philosophy of education. Some of us feel unsupported or isolated at our sites. Perhaps it’s simply because your “why” doesn’t align with your colleagues. In this session, we will discuss and revisit the “why” in the question “Why did we become educators?” We will explore the different pedagogies each of us subscribe to and discuss and share our experiences and thoughts. Through self-reflecting and discussion, the session will reinvigorate us in our journey as educators!

    Collapse Stronger Together: Building Authentic Home School Partnerships
    New Educator Weekend - Home Edition!
    Most educators understand that engaging families is an important component of successful teaching; many of these same educators feel underprepared to effectively engage with families in support of student success. School and district family engagement efforts have historically been focused outward at educating parents to support their students, while foregoing building the collective capacity of educators to forge authentic partnerships with families. Founded on the concepts of authentic partnership, social justice leadership, democratic decision making, and relational trust, this session will engage educators in a reflection of current praxis, along with an analysis of future engagement goals. Through this exercise, educators will be empowered to create action plans, with concrete strategies using existing tools, to forge authentic partnerships with the families they serve. The core question we will explore is: "How do we engage all families?"
