Fall Meeting is Only Five Weeks Away!

We invited affiliates to share their stories about the upcoming Fall Meeting. Each video is less than a minute and shares a personal reason why you should join us!

There is still time to register for Fall Meeting.

Our meeting this year is taking place at the San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk Hotel, located on the river and close to a variety of restaurants for lunch and dinner options.

For our out of town guests, we have negotiated a discounted conference rate for the hotel. The deadline to take advantage of this discount is October 16th, or until the room block is filled, and some nights are close to full! Click here to visit the hotel conference site and make your reservation today!


Facilitating Virtual Learning Communities – New Webinar Series

Our featured webinar this month is a new four-part series facilitated by Julie Moore and Natalie Berger, helping participants learn how to facilitate virtual learning communities.

In this interactive webinar series, participants will engage in a variety of SRI protocols and practices to explore how to foster and sustain transformational learning communities in a virtual space. Participants will be part of building a virtual community, while engaging in new learning and planning their own next steps in using virtual learning communities to engage more teachers and students.

There is a limit of 20 participants for this series. Learn more here and sign up to attend!


Eagle Rock Presentations of Learning

Our partners at Eagle Rock School and Professional Development Center are inviting people to be a part of the next round of student Presentations of Learning. At the end of each trimester, every student prepares a presentation that displays evidence of their learning both academically and personally during the trimester. The presentations are made before members of the Eagle Rock community and a panel composed of guests. If you are interested in alternative assessment, personalized education or Eagle Rock School, this is a great opportunity to learn more and be on a panel.

Because of the scheduling involved, please RSVP online by October 26, 2018.

Additionally, Eagle Rock can provide overnight accommodations and meals, with prior reservations made when you RSVP.

This is a great opportunity to learn more and experience a truly amazing school. Have questions? Please email Anastacia Galloway Reed agalloway@eaglerockschool.org.
