Windsor Listening Forum on Education

WHEN: Thursday, September 19, 2013
TIME: 6:00PM to 7:30PM
WHERE: GET BAKED, 25 Central Street, Windsor (by the train station : )

NOTE: This is not a political fundraiser, and the candidates for Board of Education will not be invited to solicit votes or raise funds. This event is solely to gain an understanding of what our community expects from us moving forward.

DETAILS
: The Windsor Republican Candidates are planning a Listening Forum in order to prepare for the tremendous responsibility we will have when we are elected this coming November 5th for the Board of Education.

A Listening Forum is an opportunity for Windsor residents to come together and share their perspectives. It is hoped that by listening to the concerns, insights, and general observations regarding the Windsor Public School System, we will be in a better position to represent the diverse needs of the community.

The first forum will be centered primarily on the experience of students. There are two subsequent Listening Forums scheduled for October 3rd and October 24th. On the 3rd we hope that parents will lead the discussion and share their perspective on fostering achievement. The final forum will seek input from community members who wish to reflect on the dialogue from the first two forums and identify any remaining issues.

Some questions that we would like to ask a group of graduates include:

1) As a student, what did you believe your role was?
2) What were the highlights of your time in the Windsor School System?
3) How could your experiences have been improved?
4) What were some of the lessons learned that contribute to your life today?

Please know that you can still attend if you are only interested in listening, and if you are unable to make it you can read a blog that will note the general themes of the Listening Forum through the Windsor Patch by the end of the following weekend.

Please remember that specialty baked goods and ice cream will be available for purchase.

Also, thank you Get Baked for being open late on Thursday evenings : )
