First off, giving credit where credit is due – my fellow parent group chair, John Tichotsky, from Denali Montessori Elementary drafted this flyer, provided it to parents at Denali and graciously allowed it to be adapted and distributed at Steller.
On March 1st, I participated in Anchorage School District’s Assets Fair along with John. I attended as the representative for Steller at this gathering, which focused on the values of Social and Emotional Learning. As one of only a few parents among hundreds of ASD staff, I was able to observe what teachers, counselors, nurses and other school staff members really thought about their work with our children.  (What follows are John’s comments, which I share.)  Click here to read entire document.
