Growing with our Girls by Molly Robinson

When is this happening? "a school that is single-sex should not be referred to as a “single-gender school” as sex and gender are different, 2) single-sex schools have historically addressed gender sterotypes within their curriculum and have held open dialogue about identity."

I this the case? "The leaders shared that decisions about cohort placement is a decision made with the parent and student, just like any other decision made regarding student placement (such as academic, social, and emotional development, friendships, etc.)."

I noticed in the Monday Message that there was space to change or adjust the model if we felt it was appropriate.

What came from this group?

During our Leadership Meetings in early June, we will form groups that will work throughout the 2022-2023 school year on specific tasks. I would like one of the groups to work on the "how and what" of formation of girls at CJA, and also the "how and what" to prepare our young men to welcome, live and learn with girls. The group will meet throughout the summer and throughout the 2022-2023 school year. If you are interested in being a part of this group, please let me know.

Model Amendments

I noticed in the Monday Message that there was room to make adjustments or changes to the decided upon model if we felt it was needed.

Family Input

I noticed the greatest weight in the decision making process was placed on family input:

Were all families surveyed? What was the response rate?
Is there a specific reason family input has the greatest say?

Small, organic opportunities built into their daily schedule instead of isolated, overly-structured events.

Assuring families of the reason for our decision and the (good) long-term consequences of this mixing.

Gender & Identity

Discussion of gender fluidity & gender stereotypes

What is our messaging when we get that pushback from families?

Advocacy for our students who need that advocacy
