District: Julian Charter School
School: Innovation Centre Temecula
Position: Teacher
Grade/Subject: 4-8th Grade Physical Education/6th Grade Home Room Teacher
Teacher Leader Roles:
1. ICT 4-8th Grade Team Lead Teacher
2. JCS 6th Grade Camp Coordinator
3. CAASP Test Lead Teacher @ ICT
Reasoning for Choosing Capstone Project:
I choose Collaborating and Communicating with Parents as my Capstone Project because it's a beneficial and effective way to increase parent involvement and community relationships. I personally thought I could do a better job at keeping parents in the loop of what's going on at school with their child and their learning. With this project I am hoping to gain parent involvement in their child's education and parent support at home during home study days. My school is unique in the way we are a home school based charter school. I work at a 4:1 program, which students attend our site Monday through Thursday and are home schooled on Fridays. Parents are responsible for 26% of their child's education. I wanted to provide more resources, tools and communicate frequently to increase the partnership between parents, teacher and student. I am hoping with my Capstone Project that my increase collaboration and communication with parents will increase parent involvement, partnership and responsibility.
A little more about me:

I have a a Bachelor of Science Degree with an emphasis in Kinesiology from San Diego State University and a Master in Education Degree from National University.
