AVID Socratic Seminars
We are going to have some fun with Socratic Seminars on Wednesday morning at our Faculty Meeting. We will only have about 20 minutes to spend with them, so please take time read through the presentation below.
You will also need to either watch The Giving Tree YouTube video or read the book prior to Wednesday morning!

Trauma Informed Schools
As we continue to build our capacity to support students in a trauma informed school setting, I continue to look for resources and supports to help us on that journey. I came across this website and found it to have a tremendous amount of information and supports for students. If you have a minute, be sure to check it out.
Important Information
March 7th Faculty Meeting
I shared the agenda for Wednesday morning's faculty meeting, as well as provided a link to it here.
We have quite a few things to discuss - lots of good things! We will spend some times playing with Socratic Seminars. Please review the attached slides and either read or watch The Giving Tree (both are embedded earlier in the newsletter). Our seminar will focus on The Giving Tree, so you will have wanted to read or watch it prior to our meeting.
I'm looking forward to spending the morning together!
