The Community Schools Learning Exchange (CSLX) is thrilled to present the Community School Coordinators Learning Series. This three-part, hybrid workshop is aimed at giving Community School Coordinators the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to be successful in their roles, across two, 2 ½ hour virtual sessions and one all-day, in-person session in Redwood City, CA (30 minutes south of San Francisco).
Joining means getting:
A shared definition of community schools for Community School Coordinators (CSCs) and their teams;
Clarity on the role that CSCs play in their school communities to propel community school (CS) work forward;
Practical insight into the enabling conditions of successful community schools, including building trusting relationships, fostering shared leadership, and using data to guide your decisions;
A grounding in the varying roles and responsibilities that successful Community School Coordinators need from the teams they will build and lead;
Strategies for applying your learnings "IRL" ("in real life," as the kids say); and,
Help roadmapping the Community School Coordinator’s priorities and activities throughout the course of the school year.
CS Coordinators will be held on the following dates.
Wednesday, October 18: 9am-11:30am (virtual)
Thursday, October 19: 9am-4pm (in person, lunch included)
Wednesday, November 1: 9am-11:30am (virtual)
