Description
Join us for a monthly lunch and learn exploring the book "From Foster Care to College" by Royel M. Johnson. This book study will bring together regional education partners (TK–16) and community organizations that holistically support students in care. We will meet once a month to engage in shared learning, discussion, and reflection focused on improving educational outcomes and collaborative practices for this population. The monthly meetings will be facilitated by the Cabrillo College Guardian Scholars/NextUp lead and a Guardian Scholar/NextUp student. As an added bonus, all participants will receive a complimentary copy of the book and an invitation to our April culminating event, where author Royel M. Johnson will visit the professional learning community and deliver a book talk!

Description
We are planning a COP that supports School Climate with a focus on Community School strategies to increase student engagement. We are planning to invite various district specialists, community partners, and caregivers to collaborate around best practices. We will be sharing ideas around how to best support students. Tentatively we are looking to have sessions that focus on the Behavior Intervention, Foster/Unstably Housed, IEP/SPED, Counseling Services, Attendance, Working with SEL Data, and a Community Partners Panel. We are also planning to also offer zoom options for some or all sessions.
There will be an additional 1.5 hours of asynchronous time for this event.
