===//Below is my correspondence with the Greater Kansas City Writing Project director and their professional development coordinator about our staff here at Seton writing a reflective narrative this year (or in the future) about our journey through school reform here in KC. I strongly feel that we have a unique perspective that others will want to read about and that has publication value. We need to be processing and recording our efforts here as we rebrand, rebuild, and reform our school in the wake of so many larger societal changes.// People DO want to hear what you have to say about teaching!===

 * || Hey Katie,

I just pitched the idea of writing a book as a staff at my school involved with the practice of whole-staff reflection. I thought maybe there would be an opportunity with GKCWP to sponsor the effort and provide some supporting voices. It's just a floating idea right now but it was met well!

Looking for your gut reaction. :)

Thanks!

 * || Sounds like a great idea! My first thought would be to have the GKCWP first come for an in-service that would help you all construct a plan for your work, including the vision, timeline, chapters/topics for inquiry, etc. If there are some p.d. funds that can be used to support this work, we could work with you all to put together a series of year-long workshops designed to support the whole-staff reflection book project.

Jennie Punswick is our in-service coordinator, and she may have some additional thoughts about how to build from the positive reception your idea was given. I've copied her here, too.

Let me know what kind of support I can provide or what kind of next steps you'd like us to make.

Hope your semester gets off to an amazing start! Katie

 * || Hi Jennie,

I am a new TC with the GKCWP and am working at Seton High School downtown. We are rebuilding, reforming, and mid-application en route to becoming a new KC charter.

During our meetings before the school year, I mentioned to Katie that we may want to do some PD with GKCWP that could help shape us into a reflective body of practitioners. We are undergoing a lot of change that requires processing and recording and it is precisely the kind of change that NWP is interested in: learning- and student-centered.

We have newly acquired PD money and are very interested in moving forward with planning in-services. I have copied Dr. Stephen Aspleaf, our principal, on this message as well.

I'm excited to know what you can do for us Jennie and can't wait to hear from you!

-Steve
