THE LATE WORD ON TONIGHT'S EDUCATION SUMMIT

From Superintendent John Ramos Monday night:

Dear SOMSD Community,

We hope to see you at the Education Summit tomorrow evening at Columbia High School from 7pm-9:30pm. 

The evening will begin at 7pm in the auditorium with a brief orientation. Participants will then choose to attend a smaller group for the rest of the evening to discuss a specific topic in depth - including dreams for that area and proposed action items. There will also be a short time at the end of the evening for each group to discuss other topics, ideas and issues.

The final list of topics is available herePlease note that there have been some changes and additions to the list.  Thank you to everyone who has given us feedback and submitted topics as we have been planning for this important event.

In addition, you may want to watch this video of a talk by Education and Innovation Expert Tony Wagner, which will give you a sense of the spirit which we hope will guide the work at the Summit.

The flyer with full details is available here.

Any questions or comments about the Education Summit? Share them here.

Please note that the Summit is the beginning of the conversation, not the end. We will have multiple opportunities for community members to continue discussing these topics for 30 days after the Summit.

Sincerely,
Dr. John J. Ramos, Sr.
