Wendy Z Warren started the topic Acceptance Emails/Letters–when and how? in the forum Thinking Together 7 years, 11 months ago
Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking lately about acceptance emails, especially regarding the tension between feeling the need to let participants be able to make summer plans and not knowing if you will reach the fifteen or more participants needed to run the seminar. Last year, I sent an email to potential participants letting them know the issue…[Read more] -

I’m happy to help in your efforts to reach out to educators in any way I can, Paula. Our goal is to fill these seminars with eager participants; one small way of slowing bending the arc of the moral universe towards justice….

Hi Paula and Cara,
I’ll look forward to the reply of others, but I’ll share this idea and offer of my support to all.

Wendy Z Warren started the topic Reaching Out to Educators About Our Satellites in the forum Thinking Together 8 years, 1 month ago
Hi everyone,
I’m thinking this might be a great time to begin a discussion about the various ways our sites reach out to educators.
In Montana, our best resource has always been our former participants. As that list grows, so does the effectiveness of their outreach to potential future participants. This year, we decided to think carefully…[Read more]

Hi everyone,
I’ve been doing some deep thinking about guiding questions for the seminar as well making overt links between content within a day and from day to day. Whew. That’s some in-depth planning. It seems each year, I’d like to take things a little deeper. I also realized last year that I need to explain how inquiry operates, rather than…[Read more]

Thanks, Celia. Great suggestion. Do you think the color helps in the new version?

Wendy Z Warren replied to the topic Newly revised Montana flier in the forum Brochures and/or Fliers 8 years, 3 months ago
I just worked up a web version of our flier. I realized I could add color and a second page, to use when we didn’t want to make copies. This allowed me to add some information about the content of the seminar.
Again, comments are much appreciated.
