Ideas At First-ever SEEDS Summit
More than 50 community members came together on November 18 to learn about progress under way in and challenges being faced by the Daphne schools. Following a presentation by school administrators, Summit participants discussed how the community can help address these needs.
Their ideas focused on five priorities:
- Find new ways to motivate students as they work to meet high standards;
- Make students aware of career opportunities now available in local industry and the benefits of being prepared to go to work following graduation;
- Provide more support for math education;
- Look into establishing a community-based mentoring program in Daphne;
- Work to expand pre-school education.
The SEEDS board of directors will use these ideas – together with input provided by the 2008 SEEDS Community Survey – to develop plans for 2009.
