Students of the Year!
Teachers College
This is a great honor and benefit for our teachers. The teaching staff is committed to being EXCELLENT reading teachers. We get better by learning new strategies and receiving the support we need from professional development experts.
We have spent 7 days over the course of this school year learning what our students and teachers need to be the best they can be in reading and writing. Teachers are working in grade level groups planning, watching demo reasons and trying what they learn. Below are some pictures from the last few days.
Parent Classes
Parenting Advanced Learners Classes: Is your child insatiably curious, a quick learner, intense, sensitive, creative, and perhaps idealistic and a divergent thinker? Children who are advanced learners often display temperamental traits that can challenge, puzzle, and tire out parents and teachers alike. “Parenting Advanced Learners” is a six-session series that provides parents with a comprehensive overview and concrete strategies for nurturing these children, who are sometimes referred to as "gifted." The class addresses intensity, asynchronous development, perfectionism, procrastination, motivation, peer relations, social/emotional needs, self-regulation, executive function skills, existential depression, idealism, frustration tolerance, twice exceptional (gifted plus other issues), and much more. Two series of classes, mornings and evenings, will begin February 5, 2019. Evening classes will take place at the Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School, and morning classes will take place at the Child Parent Institute on Standish Avenue in Santa Rosa. This class is appropriate for parents of children ages 4-18. For more information, please see the attached flyers, available in Spanish and English.
Cursos para la Crianza de Aprendices Avanzados: ¿Es su hijo (o hija) insaciablemente curioso, listo, intenso, sensitivo y posiblemente un pensador divergente? Los niños que son aprendices avanzados frecuentemente muestran características que pueden retar, confundir y agotar a tantos los padres como los alumnos. “Crianza de Aprendices Avanzados” es una serie de seis sesiones que les provee a los padres una revisión exhaustiva y estrategias específicas para criar a estos alumnos, quienes a veces se llaman “dotados”. La clase aborda cuestiones como la intensidad, desarrollo asincrónico, perfeccionismo, procrastinación, motivación, relaciones con los compañeros, necesidades socioemocionales, autorregulación, habilidades de función ejecutiva, depresión existencial, idealismos, tolerancia de frustración, doble excepcionales (dotados con otras condiciones) y mucho más. Hay dos series de clases, por las mañanas y por las tardes, que comenzarán el 5 de febrero de 2019. Las clases por la tarde tendrán lugar en Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School o las por la mañana tendrán lugar en el Child Parent Institute, ubicado en Standish Avenue en Santa Rosa. Esta clase es apropiada para padres de alumnos de las edades de 4-18 años. Para más información, véase, por favor, los folletos adjuntos, disponibles en español e inglés.
