I will be working with middle school and high school students that have signed up with the city of Redwood City, through their parks & recreations department.  This national program actually originated in Redwood City years ago.


Previously, I and my 2 high schoolers also worked as tutors with Project Read finding it to be rewarding for student and tutor. There is a 6-month commitment for a minimum of 1 hour per week.  I have comitted to that requirement.  All work is done via zoom calls.


There is training involved 2-3 days for a few hours each night (before COVID), but since I was previously trained, a 1 hour refresher is mandatory and will occur this week (Feb.4th, 2021).  I have requested to work with students vs. adults.


All work will be done via zoom conference calls that are arranged through the city of Redwood City. 


I had my first meeting with the core team of Project Read team on Thursday, 

February 4, 2021: 

>    Kathleen Endaya || Project Read Director, who heads up the program for the City of Redwood City, and has responsibility for reporting activities to County ( San Mateo).  She founded the group.

>    Monique Rodriguez
Student/Tutor Coordinator ~ Families in Partnership
Project READ, Redwood City
(650) 780-7005
mrodriguez@redwoodcity.org

It was a 65 minute training re-fresher as I have worked with Project Read prior.  I did have to be fingerprinted as I would be working with
minors.  The commitment is for a minimum of 6 months and at least 1 hour per week scheduled via PR's zoom account.
An assignment of a student will be this coming week, and I have a zoom brush up class for teachers, leaders, etc.
 A weekly accounting of time spent and work done with student will be documented.

I asked if could could record the meetings for documentation purposes to Ms. Andrews.  That is not allowed.  Project Read leaders will drop 
in on a random, unannounced basis

Week 15 | State & Local Government | Reflection Paper - Final

 Larry Feirman State & Local Gov’t.-Week 15 April 27, 2021 Final Exam- Reflection Paper Q 1:  Given what you know about this topic so far, please reflect on the heritage and values of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in the context of your own values and belief system. Response:  I believe the best place to begin this response is to confirm what those  values are: The Hallmarks of a Notre Dame de Namur Learning Community, developed by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in collaboration with SND learning communities, are: Our Core Values—community, diversity, excellence, goodness, integrity, justice, learning, service—are closely linked to the Hallmarks of a Notre Dame de Namur Learning Community developed by the Sisters in collaboration with NDNU and other SNDdeN learning communities. These values should be considered in the context of the Hallmarks.  1. We proclaim by our lives even more than by our words that God is good. 2. We honor the ...
