Getting+Started

Info on each piece of work A refresher "think about" similar to the Skill Building and Sustaining the Journey elements found on the AS and CC website A list of leaders for each piece of work in NY. This would include consultants and agency trainers. Links to the web sites of AS, CC, HOM, Miravia, Billmeyer, Grinder, teaching centers, district websites, etc A list of related/connected readings that we have found to be valuable A list of training dates to be submitted by our group that is housed in one place with easy access Video clips that we might share for training purposes Flip video clips of strategies, cc conversations, using the micro skills of CC with children and while facilitating, etc. This may be a later addition. As some of us move into retirement and become consultants links to your own websites Posting of newsletters, like the one I write in NSyracuse, so all may access Etc... My thinking is that we are all doing so many great things and, we have many new people that will soon be working to intiate and sustain the work so the design of a "container" that would help us work in a more holonomous manner might be of great value. I would love to offer this possibility to our group. And, I would encourage you to share your ideas, feeling, apprehensions, etc. Once again I am willing to act as the the key point on this. And, frankly I was going to design one for our work in N Syracuse this summer anyway. I could start the work and at Advanced we could find an evening so that I could share the prototype and get your input. This might ensure that the site is up and running in September. Then during our teaching next year we could add the site address to the charts we already have that contain the web site addresses of AS, CC, HOM, Grinder, and Billmeyer. Liane would you be willing to share the web site service you are using? Doreen would you be open to periodic consulting and collaborating?

Dear CC Colleagues, If I may stick in my two cents? Thank you for including me in this dialogue you are all having. As a community, we support each other, and the individuals and the community thrive. The idea of a collaborative summer offering between OCM and Oswego BOCES seems promising, and don't forget Jeff-Lewis as well--perhaps that becomes an annual event???? Scott, may I encourage you to follow up on the offer to "coordinate" information" on the NYS Agency Trainer (and Training Associate) offerings. The CCC website of course does not list all of these, and this has great potential. Pat and Juanita have experimented this year with "distance learning" follow up, and this may have potential for all of us as well. May I also introduce to you all our newest candidates for Agency Trainer certification, Tammy Alsace, Serena Restivo, and Lisa Sanders from the Buffalo School district. All three will be coming to Advanced this summer, and you will all have the chance to meet and network. Whether or not you are attending Advanced this summer, you are all invited to visit, perhaps on the first day for the wine tasting! These opportunities for the NYS trainers to meet whenever possible are important for our growth. All the best as you end this successful school year! --Michael
