NSCDS School Site Visits
We have several site visits schedule this spring in order to give North Shore staff and faculty a window into innovative practices and initiatives at area public and private schools. These site visits are open to any NSCDS faculty and staff members. All are welcome to sign up; please do so by Friday, April 12th.

Keep in mind that certain visits are geared towards particular grade levels, but this is not a limiting factor. For example, if you are a middle school teacher, you still might find some benefit to going on the LFHS tour.

Please read the following descriptions and fill out the form if you'd like to go on any of these tours.

1) April 16 (morning) - Lake Forest Country Day School - We will be touring the school and spending time in their innovation space. This visit will take place from 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM and we will have lunch in Lake Forest before our afternoon visit to Lake Forest High School. (Ideally, participants will sign up for both morning and afternoon site visits to Lake Forest.) (10 spaces)

2) April 16 (afternoon) -  Lake Forest High School - We will be touring the school and meeting with Apple Distinguished Educator Steve Douglass from 12:30 - 3:00 PM. This visit will take place from 12:30 - 3:00 PM and includes a school tour, a visit to their maker space and a digital media class observation. (10 spaces)

3) April 23 (morning)  - District 36 - We will be visiting all Winnetka public schools (D36) to learn more about the maker spaces in each school. The maker space/library at Hubbard Woods School is particularly impressive; the librarian in charge of this space is School Library Journal's 2017 School Librarian of the Year.  This tour will take place from 9 AM - 12 PM.(10 spaces)

4) May 10 (morning ) - TENTATIVE - The Latin School of Chicago - We are working on scheduling a site visit to the Latin School to specifically observe tech and innovation efforts in their lower school. This visit will probably take place from 8:30 - 11:30 AM. (10 spaces)

5) May 10 (afternoon) -  The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools - This visit will take place from 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM. At Lab, we will visit their fairly new primary grade building to see classrooms in action and their maker space for PreK - Grade 2 students. We also will tour their historic campus and see the maker space that serves students in grades 3-5.

I will confirm your participation within the next week or so, and will provide a list of participants to each division head and assistant. Participants should work with their division heads to secure subsitutes; please fill out sub request forms as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Lucy Gray
