Chris and i met last week to discuss the newsletter and to discuss how the evaluation process by the SW 683 class went and how thankful we were for what a good job students did.  We agreed to read the reports in preparation for the meeting with Sue Ann & Dr. Gant.  Oh side bar, Chris and i downloaded Skype on my computer however the computer needs a sound card..at least that is what pops up as why sound does not work.  I told her i could download on my Netbook which i did this week--but there was a glitch and now i have to have my tech guy look at it. 

So far i have read 10 of the reports and each demonstrates the similarities, challengers and unique attributes of each program.  A couple of observations College Days, Summer Camps and Tutorial-Mentoring seemed to be the most successful programs.  The latter program service Tutoring -Mentoring is administered in a variety of formats from Sat academies to summer camp relationship building.  Everyone is challenged by parent involvement and data access and collection.

Chris and i also agreed that as a result of the meeting and its outcomes we would have a better handle on what to communicate in the newsletters.  Well that pretty much summarizes the past two weeks.
