What an eventful weekend! We heard from three different human resources specialist serving at different capacities in their respective school districts. In the hiring process, you want to make sure that the individuals you hire are cohesive with the mission of your school and district as well as able to build relationships in a collaborative manner. When hiring, it is also important to check references and do your homework regarding the potential candidates. These people that we hire are going to be working with our young people every day. Following that presentation, we had visitors from CADA come in and facilitate some learning activities that were though provoking, challenging and induced meaningful conversations. The listening/speaking activity in teams of three was a challenge to un-train ourselves from normal conversational practices and adapt to this new way of listening only. It was interesting all that you heard and absorbed. The next activity was where we sat in large groups and discussed the challenges and opportunities faced with the previously mentioned discussions. Affirmation was scarce and some individuals filled in the gaps. We learned a lot about ourselves as communicators and people in this activity. They also left us with some valuable resources from the CADA source page. The next day we were able to listen to a very informative seminar about budgets and funding from Dr. Terry Bradley. It seems that we only just scraped the surface of this topic, all the while learning a multitude of new things in this very informative day. Great classes
