The Parker Fund
Katrina told the group about the mailing hitting mailboxes and the early positive responses to it.
The group spent the majority of the meeting looking at video footage to pick out themes and segments to use for enrollment videos and development videos.
Some themes that emerged:
Personalization
Math theme
Knowing students well
Classroom culture
Excitement around teaching
"Struggling together"
Inquiry
Other ideas generated:
including sports in the videos
including theater in the videos
including recent high school grads- how did Parker prepare you for college
