Communication

Faculty Parents-Students Advisee/Advisor

Not making sure academics are rigorous enough too much focus on those not meeting the mark Excited about what the vision is really about but the faculty does not know what this is about. In March was when the faculty first knew of anything about this. We are not hearing the positives. Faculty must be a part of the vision instead of showing up in the fall and saying this is our vision. This is not your grandmother's community any longer we must change how we communicate this. Just because there is money there, why are we doing this? People do not mind change if there is need to change. Teachers need to see the reasons and the change needs to be sustained. SAT scores need to be addressed
 * A brainstorm of Community Conversations that are out there.**

There was a need, they felt there was problem; drop out scores, SAT info and put together a plan with Multiple Pathways

We need to bring this back to faculty time with engagement and processing time not just a presentation. Do not forget the processing time and be sure to include the ongoing support, discussion, practice throughout the year. Set the ongoing conversations up around Alliances. (Math/Science) How does the time line of the grant impact our conversations. Alliance concept should be discussed and explored. Math and Science are already stepping into this Alliance Concept. Can these two departments share how they plan to work within the Math and Science Alliance? Communication of Change there will always be conflict, disagreement but we have data to back this. We need to facilitate the conflict. Must have discussion of faculty needs for training that were identified by faculty.

Parents need to be a part of the registration process with Advisee/Advisor Registration process is already done with parents at SAMS How do you set up your Advisee/Advisor program.
