don't be too picky/selective. it's not about finding your dream job. it can be as easy as just building some resume experience, trying something out. if you've never had a job, you may not know what you like or don't like until you try things. also, you might find that working someplace you think you would like turns out to be not a good fit. s

I recommend using Google Forms to collect student data and information and know who to track down.

my first job was actually IN my high school. There was an announcement and they needed some help in the business office with filing and some things. it started out a couple hours a week and eventually I did it almost every day after school when I wasn't doing sports or extracurriculars. I even worked there over the summer and after I graduated I came back and helped out some too. It paid better than minimum wage at the time was like 6$ and I got a few raises so by the time I was in college I was making decent hourly rate without having to spend money getting to work. It paid for prom and senior dues and trips to the movies with friends and things like that.

I was a lifeguard at the pool where I swam competitively. I had always wanted to be a lifeguard, so I knew that I needed specific training and would have to pass both written and physical tests. I probably had to pay for the training, so I needed my parents' support. I also worked at a TCBY.

Opportunities are being offered to SOME staff, but very few are being included and of those included, very few are taking people up on the offerings (Cultivating Genius).  As a way to get staff interested, two staffers who attended the training gave an overview at a recent PD and although people were very interested in the overview, only one was interested in taking the time to attend a Cultivating Genius PD in the future.  It seems staff is interested when they don't need to do the work, which is disappointing.

Yes, our school is supporting staff by having conversations at staff PD meetings about race in our school. We have affinity groups as well that discuss on a monthly basis. It would be nice to have a list of concrete things we can do to help with supporting our students on a daily basis.

We have affinity groups for both white educators and teachers of color. We read texts and engage in discussion on a monthly basis. We are also working with a company called Culturvate, which offers us circle practice to explore these topics. I personally have been involved in several CHRSE PD opportunities centered on Goldy Muhammed's work.

Some teachers got to engage in Tier 1 circle keeping training. This workshopped helped teachers learn how to create safe spaces for uncomfortable conversations.

Parents are very involved over here. We have a Parent Coordinator and regular communication with our parents who have an equal voice in their child's education.

Parents can be viewed as demanding or active, as well as non-responsive. Parents should be viewed as members of the IEP team. We take into account the cultural expectations of families to accommodate the learning needs of a student, i.e. a student needing to pick up a younger student; a family going away for a family event or cultural celebration.

We have an equity team that began last year, but there is very little parent involvement. Our school prioritizes parent outreach and we try to use a number of different means of engagement to make that easier. We also have a PTA with some very devoted members. This year the school has offered several different workshops for parents via zoom.

I was a cashier. I got the job because I went in and applied myself, no one told me about the job.

It was a retail job for one day of taking inventory at a GAP store. I believe I was filling in for a friend who could not do it.

We are reading the book How to be an Anti-Racist and having meaningful discussion and inquiry about the book weekly at staff PD.

My school has been pretty actively involved in working to deepen staff understandings of systemic racism, oppression and privilege. PDs and opportunities for growth in those areas occur frequently. I think everyone is in a different place in their learning. Affinity groups exist, but not all staff members are participants.

Our Parent Coordinator works hard to engage our families (topics of interest, translations etc) however many do not attend the events she organizes. There has been a significant decrease since the pandemic. In all there seems to be a belief held by our teachers that "parents won't come" or respond.

At my school, we host many family events to encourage families actively participating at our school in any ways they're able to. We have an outreach team in coordination to the PTA that supports with family engagement in a variety of ways depending on the time of the school year. For example, recently we held Scholar-Led Conferences and there is a person on the outreach team who is responsible for ongoing contact and support with specific families. Our school is bit on continuity of support, so that families are familiar with who they are speaking to.

These are topics that come up within smaller groups within my school. It may be conversations colleagues are having with one another, but no formal PD has been held - at least this year.  The curricula that is chosen delves into these topics as well.

We view parents as partners and stakeholders.  At our school, parents are treated like individuals. We have a teacher who is an intervention coordinator who sets up meetings with families.  We also have weekend events for parents organized by the parent coordinator.  We try to give opportunities for parents to engage as well as complete meaningful outreach with them and build relationships.

I recommend engaging the PTA so they know that this opportunity exists. I also recommend having students meet to know that the opportunity exists for them.

TBH I don't know how much families at my school are engaged in pro-equity efforts. As far as I can tell, the PTA hasn't been very vocal or active this year. I know that we speak to our students about things that can be done to promote equity, but I'm not sure how much that translates or carries to their homes.

I was a lifeguard at a community pool in my neighborhood.  I don't remember how I knew about the specific opening, but I knew about being a lifeguard because I was a swimmer and I knew it was a summer job I wanted.

Through the PTA and our Parent Coordinator, parents are given a voice to participate in school activities and workshops. However, we have a low participation rate in relation to our student population.
