Summary:
|
Chad Barajas, Renee Garcia, Michelle Weiding, Rawan Moser, and Nicholis Kalantar, Heritage High School teachers, request approval to attend the California Association of Directors of Activities (CADA) State Convention in Reno, Nevada, March 6-9, 2024.
The California Association of Directors of Activities began when a few student council advisors shared common problems and solutions. Since that weekend in 1957, CADA has grown into the most extensive statewide support network for Activity Directors in the nation.
The CADA holds an annual conference providing workshops and presentations targeting teachers who work with middle school and high school leadership students. The conference attracts participants from all over the United States, wanting answers to questions like "How do I design activities promoting a safe learning environment?"; "What about activities supporting academic, social and personal development in accordance with federal guidelines?"; "Can we capture the hearts of our students so they will look forward to attending school and as a result lower the dropout-rate?" The answers to these questions and much more are found at the CADA Conference.
In the current educational climate, the status quo is no longer enough to ensure our students' safe and successful learning environment. CADA knows teachers and administrators desire to do something more. Attendance at the 2024 CADA Convention can provide staff with the tools to facilitate:
1) A physical environment that is welcoming and conducive to learning
2) A social environment that promotes communication and interaction
3) An affective environment that promotes a sense of belonging and self-esteem
4) An academic environment that promotes learning and self-fulfillment
The CADA provides an abundance of workshop sessions targeting Common Core Standards. The convention will be providing empowering, passionate, inspiring, and committed leadership philosophies that will begin, enhance and complete the CADA program. The CADA will focus on several aspects of our schools, including improving the culture and climate by infusing leadership philosophies aligned with Common Core Standards. The curriculum is designed to include the school's entire educational team.
