Support 2 years, 10 months agoGreat. Glad Rebecka is there working with you all 🙂
We are planning to redesign ALC Membership (and member benefits) in early 2017. To this point, we’ve reserved the full access to all our documents on Google Drive to folks who have been through and ALF Summer training experience with us. We may wind up creating different folders with different…[Read more]

Tomis replied to the topic Tools for preserving order and cleanliness in the center in the forum
Support 2 years, 10 months agoHi Guillermo,
I’m not sure there are any tools and practices that will magically instill cleanliness and order in at an ALC, unless I’m misunderstanding your questions.
Are you saying you’re having trouble getting students to participate in cleaning up? Or are you asking about tools for making visible what cleaning needs to get done?
Can you…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing, Lib.
It’s great that DuoLingo is working well for you! Such a useful and convenient tool.

Tomis commented on the post, Culture Meeting and Change Up, on the site AnthonyG. 3 years ago
I see. Did the agreement begin with an explicit “Awareness” brought up by one of the facilitators?
It is super important, especially when you have an agreement that isn’t really being held, to go back and look at what is behind it. What was the need this agreement was addressing? If you can go back and start by having a conversation with them…[Read more]

Rules that are being handed down to you from the Landlord or something? Where are these rules coming from?

Just now seeing this, Steve! Totally missed that you had been blogging.
I totally agree this line if inquiry is super effective in a Parent Interest context.

Thanks for sharing, Anthony.
What are some of the agreements that are challenging to move through P levels?
Sometimes you have to look at the original Awareness and come up with a new agreement if the current one isn’t getting enough buy-in.

Tomis commented on the post, Lesson Plans and Spending on Materials, on the site AnthonyG. 3 years ago
Maybe start with something simple that doesn’t require a ton of materials and execute on that first to get some more confidence in bigger projects?

Thanks so much for sharing, Laurel — I saw some stuff (I guess on Facebook) about the coop you are talking about here and was curious what you were up to.
It sounds like you’re getting to flex your muscles in this situation, in a really cool way — provide some serious value for folks and practice the things that you’re good at in terms of…[Read more]

Tomis commented on the post, Roots Mastery Board, on the site Liam's ALF Blog 3 years, 1 month ago
Love this, Liam! I think it helps make the tools, practices, and activity of the community visibly mapped back to the roots really effectively. It’s also just a great way to see how well we are doing with these community practices and always draw them back to the “why”, which is super important.

When will that be? Sounds like you got your hands full with the little ones and the after-school program. Are you expecting to work with teens in the context of the after-school program or in some other way?

Hi T-
It is tough to do much with that information alone, yes. Feel free to extrapolate on why this doesn’t resonate with you and your experience. -

This was our first full week trying out the Challenge Sprints structure. I’m enjoying having more time with students and doing more facilitation when I’m at school, especially because it is a specific kind of […]

It’s really fun having you at school and facilitating! Thank you for all you do 🙂

Thank you, Tomis and Mosaic students!! I appreciate the sharing and it’s been helpful to see the Trello and project breakdown examples. I’m enjoying the near real time implementation of the Sprint tool with my own students…I’m curious about how I’ll use this tool to share our first year experiences in a manner worthy a read. Thank you for holding such incredible space for fellow learners. Grateful.

At ALC Mosaic, we’ve mostly used “Roots” and “Branches” to distinguish between our locations and the programs/ages that they serve. However, in that separation, there’s also some distinctions in how our ALC model […]
