These workshops are open to any/all California educators free of charge. No prior experience with Computer Science is necessary!
This is also an exciting opportunity for California teachers to be compensated for engaging in Computer Science professional learning and is provided through Region 2’s work in the Computer Science Educator Workforce Investment Grant: Seasons of CS. Our synchronous learning sessions are coupled with 90 minutes of asynchronous activity to be completed independently. Teachers completing both components will be compensated $125.
You must register for each workshop individually by clicking on the associated registration links. Kindly be aware there is a limited capacity for each workshop, and seats fill up rapidly. We strongly encourage early registration.
Please contact Rebecca Bailey at rbailey@mcoe.us or Mindy Keegan at mkeegan@mcoe.us if you have any questions.

EL/ELL Newcomer Tips from Tina Krenov, District EL Coordinator
I continue to share ideas from Ellevation Strategies, because they are that good. Hopefully you have had or will have a moment to explore! This is a 1-page explanation of what activities are included in the PL Modules.
One of the latest modules is 'Building Sociocultural Competence'. Remember, you do get DCEC credits for completing Ellevation Modules--might be fun to collaborate with a colleague...
As one of the three pillars of dual language, sociocultural competence is crucial for building a learning environment that welcomes, supports, and provides a voice for multilingual learners from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. It works in collaboration with the other two pillars, bilingualism and biliteracy and high academic achievement in both languages, so that multilingual learners can leverage all their assets to engage more authentically in the classroom and in their communities.
As part of our annual budget development process, we need an understanding of the expected return of all FBUSD employees for the 2024-2025 school year. The annual Intent to Return notice was emailed with a link to a Google form on January 26, 2024. Your response is required by February 5, 2024.
The annual seniority list was emailed with an attached seniority roster and link to a Google form. Please review your seniority status and approve or note the discrepancy on the Google form. Your response was required by February 1, 2024, so please complete as soon as possible if you haven't done so.
Tax forms were mailed out recently by the Mendocino County Office of Education.
Receiving a 30-day Substitute Permit is easier than ever! Commission on Teacher Credentialing Emergency 30-Day Substitute Permit information can be found here. https://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/30-Day-Substitute-Teaching-Permit-(CL-505p).
Passage of SB 1397 has temporarily waived the Basic Skills Requirement from January 1, 2023, to July 1, 2024. As long as your permit remains active, this will apply. The Basic Skill Requirement still applies to other credentialing permits.
