TO DO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark your calendar and spread the word: next year’s Summer Leadership Academy<\/strong> is going to be held on Aug. 14, 2019<\/em>, at the Riverhouse. Feel free to share this with your ICCL team. (Thanks to all who weighed in on their date preference!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we start off the second half of the year, please remember to input your mini-observations into Talent Ed<\/strong>. Each summative employee needs 6 minis and non-summative folks need at 3 minis. I have your overall building totals entered into Talent Ed (as of last week), so let me know if you’d like to compare totals to make sure they are being recorded correctl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THIS and THAT:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is no secret that I include articles, videos or quotes as part of this Tribe update to (hopefully!) make you think, reflect, try something new, consider leading in a slightly different way, etc. Well, it dawned on me as I was preparing to include this short article\/video from Simon Sinek<\/a> that sometimes I share items with you because I simply believe in them and want to share this “thing” I value with you. Such is the case this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Education Foundation for Bend-La Pine Schools will open the 2019 Classroom Grants program<\/strong> on February 18, 2019<\/strong>. Educators may submit one grant but schools may submit several grants with principals indicating priority of requests. The online grant application and guidelines<\/a> will be available at www.engagedminds.org<\/a> beginning Feb. 18th. The program closes at 5pm on Friday, March 22, 2019<\/strong>. An email communicating this information to all BLS educators and staff will be distributed by the Superintendent’s office on February 19th. Last year the Foundation awarded over $89,000 in innovative STEM, art, music & wellness grants! Any questions? Contact Michelle Johnson, Executive Director at classroomgrantapplications@gmail.com<\/a> or (541) 355-5660.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in working with a local psychologist to provide mindfulness (stress reduction) training <\/strong>to your staff, please let me know. I am assuming there would be a cost for such a training, but do not have a price estimate of what it would be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n REMINDERS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n MAC day<\/strong> is next Tuesday, Feb. 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TO DO: Mark your calendar and spread the word: next year’s Summer Leadership Academy is going to be held on Aug. 14, 2019, at the Riverhouse.
