A conversation with a former Alt. Ed Principal
Tuesday, November 27, 2007 Dr. Lyle Jensen is coming in to have a conversation with the Hewes Instructional High School Faculty. Lyle started his career in the Pioneer School district and has remained active in his life after retirement. In addition to the lecture series that he is in engaged with throughout the country, he is also a sitting member of the Panama School Board. Dr. Jensen has an extreme passion for the underdog in our schools, the Alt. Ed. student who is often times forgotten and rejected before being indentified for placement in a program outside of home school districts. I think it will be a change of pace for the High School Faculty, who represent both Alt and Spec. Ed., to hear an Alt. Ed. pioneer educator (no pun intended) who in his words, worked Alt. ed. before it became a popular “dumping ground” for students who do not quite fit in.

Hooray! It will be great to hear from one who has been in the trenches. I hope he will be very informative, and encouraging of our efforts.
