Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Update — March 30, 2020
On this episode of Eye On The Valley presented by SCVi & iLEAD Schools, Amber is out, and Sara McDaniels is in to fill her place today. Our first guest, Amber Rogers, is the iLEAD Special Education Director, and she calls in to talk to Matt and Sara about how special education students have had higher success learning in a push-in model. A push-in model is based on incorporating special education students into other classrooms to help students with challenges and disabilities maintain high expectations of themselves. A pull-out method, which is more common, is based on removing special education students from other classrooms and placing them in a separate education environment. While this may still be necessary for certain learners, it is important to include special education students in all learning environments to help them know they aren’t being asked to do less than their fellow classmates. Providing as much access to the general education curriculum as possible helps special education learners is an important step to take to see higher results in all aspects of their lives.
The next guest on the show is Marlee Lauffer, VP of Marketing and Communication for Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, and she calls in to talk about what the Henry Mayo Hospital in Newhall has done to prepare to handle the increase of Covid-19 cases and patients. Marlee shares information about the status of the hospital, and that their hospital was able to take measures that has helped them get ahead of the curve. She talks about how the challenge of this outbreak is that it is not local. A local or regional natural disaster, while never good, can be better supported by other hospitals and resources around the country. Covid-19 is stressing the country’s medical infrastructure at an alarming rate, and that has been the greatest challenge of handling it so far. Marlee also talks about how the regular, face-to-face interactions that usually take place in a hospital have changed greatly. Marlee also shares information about how other medical processes, surgeries, therapies, and services have been altered to remain functional and serviceable to everyone.
Later in the show, Kristina de Bree, MA, LMFT, EMDR, calls in to talk about red flags to look for in your child or teenager. She provides a list of behaviors to look for to help address those red flags and intervene before there is a serious problem. Kristina also talks about the very serious red flags to look for that could be life-threatening. Listen to her list of tips at the end of Hour 2.
Listen in as Matt Watson, Sara McDaniels, Amber Rogers, Marlee Lauffer, and Kristina de Bree talk about everything from special education to the status of Henry Mayo Newhall hospital to red flags in your children’s behavior.
About SCVi & iLEAD Schools:
“At iLEAD we’ve built a model based on what we believe to be the best of all that is out there. We believe passionately in project-based learning not because it’s a fad but because it goes to the heart of how kids learn. We’ve incorporated technology not as a spiffy add-on but as an organic part of the learning process in the 21st century.
We value and encourage leadership not just as a part of a career track but by instilling in each learner the confidence and character that inspire others.
It’s not unusual that we want our learners to think for themselves. But to do this requires a grounding in the arts, in design and in humanities, and the need to feel at home in the world. For us, “thinking for themselves” is not just about solving problems but about an organic vision of the world they live in and one they will inherit.
Finally, we value the social and emotional development of our learners. We believe there is an implicit, as well as an explicit, curriculum to teach. Our goal is nothing short of learning, to change the world.” Read More…
