Learning Walks

Our team is very excited for the opportunity to continue learning alongside one another by visiting our own classrooms.  The "Learning Walk" structure is an incredible job-embedded professional development opportunity for our team to collect “different kinds” of data, discuss teaching and learning, increase our public learning and collegiality, and explore specific instructional practices aligned to our broader strategic goals. Trust, a focus on learning, and a reflective non-judgmental mindset are essential to the success of this shared learning opportunity. #PantherPLC

Discussing war - resources for families

In the midst of crises, the value of trusted, caring, and prepared adults is essential.  We appreciate your ongoing partnership in navigating the events of the world around us.  As educators, we strive to be calm, reassuring, and steadfast supports for our students, discussing information in a way that is accurate and developmentally appropriate.  We also want to support families to discuss and process these events at home - here are some resources to help:  

- Resources for educators, families to discuss the events in Ukraine with students (San Diego County Office of Education)

- How to Talk to Kids About the Ukraine Invasion (PBS)

- How to Talk With Students About the Russia-Ukraine War: 5 Tips (Education Week)

We will continue to keep the social and emotional wellness of our students at the forefront of our work.  Please reach out if there is anything we can do to support your child(ren) and family.
