I am a lay member of a school board serving BD students in a K-12 institution. We have interest in developing a vocational traning program for the students who are not college bound. Do you know of a model for B/D kids that we could use as a starting point for our program?
Thanks,

What an exciting and engaging program for the children you serve! I can see many areas our school can borrow to improve our program offerings. This is what networking is all about! Sharing the best you have to serve as a spring board for other programs to emulate. Thank you!

Thanks for capturing an exceptional example of how an after school program can re-engage students and the arts community. This can only inspire teachers,professionals and students to get excited about learning and teaching, again. The establishment of the program and its growth seems to be very well thoughout with its many partnerships. I will be sharing it with my colleagues. The video was very informative and excellently produced.
