CSHS Weekly Bulletin
October 16-21, 2017
What are you selling?
Dear Cougar Family,
Recently, Coach Sullivan shared this blog post with his assistant coaches and me. While it is from a site intended for basketball coaches, its message transcends to all aspects of our lives. I have attempted to choose quotes from the blog, but they just don't work without the context of the entire post, so please take a moment to read the entire post. It is definitely worth your time.
And, as we go through the week, consider the following:
1) Who are your "customers"?
2) Do they have a clear idea of what you are "selling"? Not just content, but the intangibles?
3) Does your "customer service" keep your students excited to return to your class?
4) How can you change your habits to ensure you are "selling the positive"?
Have an amazing week! And, as always, COUGAR PRIDE!

Lockdown Drill--Coming soon!

EdCamp College Station!
EdCamp is coming to College Station on October 21st! We would love for YOU to be part of this day of learning!
What's an EdCamp?
EdCamps are free professional development built around conversations instead of presentations. The sessions are created on the morning of the event by the people who attend, for the people who attend. Here's a 1 min video overview of how an EdCamp works.
Why attend EdCampCSTX?
I keep going back to EdCamps for for these reasons:
- The amazing people you meet
- The power of conversations (as opposed to presentations) for professional learning
- The chance to learn about whatever I want from educators throughout the day (& to learn SO much throughout one day)
- The fantastic giveaways at the end of the day (i.e. great books, subscriptions to services, sometimes even conference registrations)
Who is EdCamp for?
YOU! Sign up here (it's FREE!).
We have more than 130 educators already registered to be there, but most of them are from outside CSISD. We would love to have a big group of CSISD educators participate in this day of learning alongside the folks from outside our district.
But won't it take up my entire Saturday?
Not this year! Our day will run from 8:00-12:30 (doors open at 7:30), so you won't have to give up your entire Saturday to participate in EdCampCSTX.
More info & registration
The EdCampCSTX website is the best place to get more info. If you're already sold and want to know where to sign up, you can take care of the free registration here.
If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are looking forward to this day of learning. I hope that you can be part of EdCampCSTX!
Aaron Hogan, CSISD ELA Coordinator
P.S. CSISD employees can get comp time for participating in EdCampCSTX! After completing your event registration, sign up here in Eduphoria so we can get you 4 hours of comp time as well.
