We are one of multiple school districts around the state who have the opportunity to create a “Transition Learning Community” that will be facilitated by a CCTS Transition Specialist. The long-term goal of our TLC is to improve the post-high school outcomes of our graduates. We will identify specific, targeted action items that can be implemented in our district as well as resources that can be funded by the CCTS grant.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>At this point, we need to put together our TLC “leadership team” that will work together to create our action plan. The team is supposed to consist of school staff as well as community stakeholders. The commitment for team members is participation in six 3-hour workshops over the next 18 months. Details for this pilot project have only come out very recently, and our first workshop is just two weeks away.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Workshop Schedule:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>1 – Oct. 28; 12:00-3:00 pm<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>2 – TBD, early December<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>3 – Jan. 10, 2017; 12:00-3:00 pm <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>4 – April 13, 2017; 12:00-3:00 pm<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>5 & 6 – TBD<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Please let me know if you are interested in being part of this transition leadership team.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Steve<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Steven Lowry<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Community Liaison & Transition Coordinator</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>(360) 947-3359<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><a href="mailto:steve.lowry@wssb.wa.gov">steve.lowry@wssb.wa.gov</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
