Practicum Recap
What a wonderful 2017 Practicum Season!
Thank You for Joining Us
We had around 391 adults in attendance and 433 students in our camps at the four practicum events in Austin, Round Rock, Belton, and Dripping Springs. It was a delight to interact with so many incredible people.
Your feedback
We are grateful to those who took the time to fill out the survey at Practicum. It's still not too late to give your feedback. Follow the link on your email you received shortly after Practicum.
The general consensus is that everyone appreciate and enjoyed the group discussions this year. It was great to share the joys, challenges, and rewards of classical education and Classical Conversations with eachother.
Looking Ahead
We anticipate hosting even more Practicums in our area next year. In addition to our four, we hope to have one in Waco, and another in the Austin area.
We anticipate the topic being LATIN! Be ready to learn!
Also consider helping out next year! There are so many opportunities to sow in to your local practicum. If you were present on day 3 before lunch you will remember us taking time to clap and thank our helpers. Here is what we were specifically clapping for:
Our Practicum Hostesses helped on so many practical levels. They kept the practicum moving by watching the schedule and sharing announcements. They helped to make sure the building was set up and kept in order during the three days.
The Hospitality Team worked to ensure your Practicum was comfortable for the staff as well as the parents.
The Registration Team made sure check in was smooth sailing and that everyone had nametags with their specialized number.
The Demo Team helped show us each day what our CC Programs look like on the CC day or at home.
The Tutor Academic Team helped lead our tutors in the afternoon orientations. This is where our tutors get juiced up for the next year.
We will be reaching out and recruiting leaders early 2018. Be thinking about how you might help! :)
Another round of applause to those who helped with our Practicums! (clap-clap) THANK YOU AGAIN!
WE LOVE OUR BOOK SALES REP--> ALITHIA!
A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO OUR TEENS!
Did you know that the majority of our camp workers were teen volunteers? We are raising up a generation that cheerfully gives their time and investment into this great mission. We would like to personally thank each of these teen helpers for volunteering their time this summer.
