During the school year of 2005 and 2006 I engaged in several small projects that helped fulfill the requirements for the PASC. These include:
- Kid’s Clubs – help to create clubs for students to network and share their interests by giving parents and students ideas and initiating first meetings. Some examples of these kids’ clubs started by my students was: Science Fair Club and Entreprenual Club
- Virtual Tutoring network – organized teachers on a synchronous online platform (Elluminate!) to assist students by using my Elluminate account and booked times for teachers and students. Teachers in my area chose an area to tutor in (for example I did Math, Jenny did writing, Dei did Phonics, etc.) and we helped students individually and virtually.
- Family Partners – buddy together experienced parents with new parents entering into the program to form a mentoring relationship.
- Parent Share Forums – Hosted meetings virtually (via Elluminate) and in person (on military base) to have parents share tips and tricks with each other and network.
- Parent “phone dates” – at phone conference time, asked parent if they would like the individual help of another parent (that was selected based on their needs). Create a “phone date” or 3-way call to introduce them, share my reflections about what they shared with me to instigate learning discussions.
- Parent Curriculum Workshops – lead Math, Reading, and Writing workshops to parent virtually and in-person to assist them with teaching the curriculum
- Organized School Directory – help manage school-wide data into publishable and public directory of school to assist in networking.
- Coach & mentor to new virtual teachers – mentored Darcy Miller and Selena Meza; new virtual teachers. Share documents, give feedback, assist with paperwork, phone conferences, face-to-face meetings, and all virtual teaching jobs.
- Match curriculum to state test standards – Match the 7th grade Math curriculum to California state standards to determine holes as create specific math goals.
- Helped create Outings assistant to help match outings with standards and curriculum – assist teachers with creating outings that aligned with curriculum so that the outings were truly an extension of learning.
- Create procedure forms for new and existing policies – create procedure forms in policy committee to reduce confusion with staff when information was processed and procedures changed.
- Moderated school’s community board – helped school community with information distribution and positive school culture by managing and moderating an asynchronous posting board.
