Even more immediately upon us are the critical first six weeks of the school year, which so often set the tone for what we can achieve throughout. For this reason, the first six weeks were a final CEM kick-off and forum focus, and an implicit target of many CEM events and activities. Of all the main CEM themes, this is the one we most fully control ourselves today, and as result this open discussion, drawing on the First Six Weeksforum and other relevant CEM events/activities (as well as the expertise of Becky Bair, Suzie Boss, Patrice Dawkins-Jackson, Thomas Diener, Lyn Hilt, and others) will be about generating takeaways and action items not for the Department or ‘the field,’ but for ourselves, to begin to put in place today.
