October 16, 2012 - October Recap

We've had an amazing 4 days with Katie and family in town...

On Monday, we presented a 6-hour workshop to 42 educators throughout San Diego County.  The room was filled with public and nonpublic school employees -- teachers, school psychologists,  behavior specialists, and more. It was a very well-received session and we received wonderful feedback.

On Tuesday, our 3-hour Advanced session was directed toward educators that have been using "Self & Match" for 10 or more months.  We had a rich brainstorming discussion and shared with the participants our new "Considerations DURING Implementation" Worksheet. 

After the Advanced session, Katie and Jamie stopped for a quick lunch with an ocean view ("When in Rome...") and then spent the afternoon at North County Academy (NCA).  As described in our June 12 post (http://selfandmatch.blogspot.com/2012/06/june-12-2012.html), NCA uses "Self & Match" as a school-wide intervention for their 6th grade through 12th grade students.  We were truly impressed with the consideration, planning, and innovation NCA has implemented.

On a personal note, it's always a blast getting our kids together.  Needless to say, they loved visiting Bates Nut Farm!
