leadership in high schools

On Dec. 1, 2008 from 2:35- 3:15 the Faculty Meeting at the Hewes Center will involve three programs – CTE, Special and Alternative Education celebrating the insights, skills and knowledge gained by participants of High Schools New Face Conferences held in Elicottville, NY in 2006, 2007 and 2008.  Our agenda will be to show and discuss how 21st century skills and planning are impacting instructional delivery, student interaction, public outreach and building configuration at the Hewes Center.  The BOCES Public Relations Officer, Jared Lindall will be on hand document our trails and growth so as to share these experiences with other schools and communities.  (See descriptions of High Schools New Face in other blog posts and in Education-Reimagined a page on this blog)

Phil Stock, Jeff Angeletti, Kelly Joslyn, Russ La Tour, Connie Rice are CTE representatives. 

Phyllis Caloren, Rose Dorey and Thea Kester – are representatives of Alteranative Education.

Jim Hedlund, Amy Stormer, Sarah Parmarter, Una Raimondo – are representatives of Special Edcuation. 

All the above, attended High Schools New Face and work at the Hewes Center.  Others who attended are now working throughout our Erie 2 CC BOCES Sites and Centers.  The impact of High Schools New Face will be fascinating to reveal in terms of each body of work – teaching, CTE planning, building design and administration of programs.  I am very excited by the possibilities of this joint Faculty meeting and look forward the dialogue and creativity that will come out of this session.
