The Seacrest Parent Forum (SPF) provides a new and exciting opportunity to engage our parents and faculty in deeper discussions about how our children and students learn and grow. Morning coffees, book talks, faculty-led seminars and a national speaker series are all part of the SPF experience. We hope you attend as many of the events as you can and join in the conversation!
Join a panel of current Seacrest parents representing all divisions. What is my role as a Seacrest parent? What does Seacrest mean when it says it wants to partner with parents from Preschool through Grade 12? What can I do as a parent to help my child engage fully in her or his Seacrest education? Partnerships take time; what can I expect in return?
Over the last several years Seacrest has reflected on our approach to homework and reviewed how our practices and philosophies are developmentally appropriate and supportive of our mission. Following our Young Authors and Young Artists Week and the unique approach to the weekly homework assignments, we delved even deeper into the “hows and whys” of homework at Seacrest. Please join the Division Heads/Administration on Thursday, November 10 at 8:30 a.m. in the Library to discuss the latest research on homework, our revised homework document, “Seacrest@Home,” and why we approach homework the way we do in each division.
Join us for an “unconference” about technology and its impact on family life. An “unconference” allow attendees to participate in three distinct conversations about technology in the 90-minute framework.
Dr. John Watson, Head of School, will lead a lively discussion on the current trends in education and why you should care. After more than 30 years in education, Dr. Watson will share his views to spark an open discussion about college admissions, high stakes testing, the corporatization of education, and more.
Join Erin Duffy, Dr. Deb Merwin and Linda Rich for a discussion of this book by Stanford professor Julie Lythcott-Haims. How can we both protect our children and provide them with the courage and independence to create their own worlds of success?
