Friday Fax

Date: May 13, 2005

From: Dr. Eugene R. Thompson
Director of Educational Leadership

To keep you updated with activities taking place through the CSPD efforts on the Navajo Nation, I am sending you a “Friday Fax” with information about current and upcoming professional development activities.

Current Events

This past week, training and technical assistance was provided as follows:

• The Improving Communities of Practice/Institute for Human Development at the Northern Arizona University attended the Western Navajo Agency Meeting of the Minds at the Tonalea Day School (May 10) to inform school staff of training and technical assistance resources that are available through IHD/NAU. Approximately twelve school staff participated in the meeting.
• An on-site school visit was conducted with the school principal at Mariano Lake Community School to discuss support for school staff as it relates to the academic achievement of students (May 13).
• Queries have begun by the Kinlani Bordertown Dormitory for some upcoming professional development activities for the residential staff. Training and technical assistance request forms were faxed to the residential program.
• The Improving Communities of Practice participated in a teleconference call with the Residential Life/Center for School Improvement and the Boys/Girls Town regarding the upcoming Residential Summer Institute scheduled for June 13–24, 2005 in Albuquerque.
• Telephone conversation has started with the Kin Dah Lichi Olta for an on-site school visit to discuss training activities for the school staff as it relates to the academic achievement of students.

Finally, you may contact us at any time regarding professional development training plans and/or activities for the current or future school years. We always look forward to hearing from you as to how we might facilitate a plan, including Project IDEAS, for your agency or school or for providing technical assistance or training above and beyond what we have currently set out to do in the present scope of work.
