Teamwork among PLs and PCs. Excited to participate and compete in booths.

I learned that it helps when pls hear from other pls and not just us. It was cool seeing pls saying "ohh look I have done this at my site or I was able to do the same with me kids"

# data[].attributes.body
It was exciting to see staff making connections and it motivated me to make myself more accessible, not just to my region but to everyone. We all have gifts to share.

# data[].attributes.body
It reminded me of the type of orientations from back when I became a PC. And this was even better, glad our staff got to experience it

I got to see different regions PLs talking to each other. Lots of smiles and laughter. The smell of the tacos soooo delicious!!! Students performance!!! We had an amazing speaker.

That our staff need this space to network, connect, energize each other and engage. Socially and emotionally the need for connection is obvious.

# data[].attributes.body
PLs also need to be acknowledge and appreciated. It was wonderful to see them smile and enjoy themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
The importance of creating an environment that promotes community building as an org. Strength in numbers! I saw PLs cheering each other on at the booths and it was very heartwarming.

# data[].attributes.body
Only thing I would change would be adding discussion groups with PLs to mingle and say ideas to each other. Having like a prepping circle.

# data[].attributes.body
When we ALL come together we will always see better outcomes

# data[].attributes.body
How important it is to take time to acknowledge and celebrate our staff. Also the importance behind showcasing the possibilities of what they can provide at their sites. Staff are still referencing things they saw at the event.

It was really hot that day so I did get a little dehydrated. lol However, it was really nice to have everyone come together and I too thought of how we can make it even better and impactful next time!

I would have it indoors, also ensure its before any schools first day

Truly believe, ALL staff who attended should have walked away with staff T-Shirt. No exceptions. EX: If staff are present they are provided with a t-shirt. If they did not register due to being new, go to room #00 and get a shirt, having all sizes available is a must.

In the future the date land on when there aren't other competing events. LAUSD had orientations, Alliance had similar events, and Brightstar had trainings that overlapped with this day so would recommend pivoting if necessary. May also consider doing multiple (East LA area, South LA Area, the Valley for example).

Run icebreakers and team builders for the staff to see they can be done in bigger groups. Run activities on stage for staff to represent their site/region. Allow a booth for talking pieces/recommendations. A podcast booth that the Yabbies/students can interview PLs/PCs.

A section to create and collaborate.

Shout out section where people drop of shout out and its announced throughout the event.

Take the mic! Say thank you!

Not letting speakers run on too long. Communication should be short, sweet, and purposeful so that it can be most effective. Having something somewhat long-winded right before lunch is a dangerous game. Maybe having someone more relevant to PLs versus relevant to supervisors would be more effective.
