Why aren’t Erica and Laura at Fardowner’s right now?
Because they scheduled their BEE Class for this afternoon. Nice! Erica did this on
Thanksgiving Break Tuesday as well. Double nice for her.

Diversity Resource Teacher Meetings
Hi Bees,
I have taken on a new role in the building as the Diversity Resource Teacher.
As a county, the diversity resource team studies the work of Zaretta Hammond,
using her book “Culturally responsive Teaching & The Brain”. I have already
attended my first meeting and was inspired by the passion the DRT community
has for their mission. The meetings are lively, informative, and provide time for
self-reflection.
I would like to invite all who are interested, to attend a DRT meeting with me
this year. There is one meeting each month from 4-6 where dinner is provided!
The final five meeting dates for the 2017-2018 school year are listed below.
January 8th
February 12th
March 12th
April 9th
May 14th
Feel free to explore the DRT website
from this link:
es/Pages/default.aspx
Please let me know if you are interested or would like additional information.
Have a wonderful holiday break!
Courtney Newman
