Chaparral 2011-2012: Classified Council Corner

CLASSIFIED COUNCIL CORNER
by Jenny Mcmahon, Classified Council President

Classified Council wishes to thank Michael Dulay, Deborah Owens, and Jeannette Tashiro for an outstanding presentation on the Child Development Program here at GCC.

     Did you know that our very own Child Development Program & Center received national recognition for work with America Reads, AmeriCorps, Child Development Career (CDCWORKS) and CalWORKS? Also, our Center has received 5-Star status for the last seven years, as well as the quality rating of “A” by the Los Angeles County Office of Education.  Debra Frohmuth was named Los Angeles County Preschool Teacher of the Year and Jacque Huggins was selected as a Mentor Teacher by the California Early Childhood Mentor Program.

     Here are a few of the things we learned at the presentation:

· Continuity of Care is meaningful in other areas

· Relationship-based planning matters

· Emotional Intelligence matters

· Reflective Practice fuels development throughout life

     We ended the presentation with the raffle drawing for a $100 gift card to the Acapulco Restaurant. Chrissy Reiner from Administrative Services was the winner! Bon appétit! Thank you all for participating in the raffle, which helped Classified Council to raise $149 toward student scholarships.

     Be sure to attend our next presentation on learning how to relieve stress, to be presented by Dr. Joseph Maloof. This will take place on Wednesday, April 18 in CS 266 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. We could all use a little stress relief.
