Santa Clarita Library Making a Difference — June 22, 2020
On this episode of Eye On The Valley presented by SCVi & iLEAD Schools, Matt Watson starts the show talking to Liza Purdy, Children’s Librarian at the Santa Clarita Library. Liza talks about all of the programs the library has been continuing to provide for the community. Liza and everyone at the library pours their heart into their work, and they love providing happiness and fun activities for the kids in Santa Clarita. The outbreak of Covid-19 has not deterred them one bit, and they have evolved nearly all of their usual services so they can be delivered in the safest possible way. Find out all the ways the library is continuing to help kids and parents alike by listening to Liza’s interview in the first and second segments of the first hour of the podcast.
Our next guest on the show is Kristina de Bree, MA, LMFT, EMDR. Kristina calls in to the show to talk about the impact of unrelieved stress and tension. Kristina talks about how this can manifest itself physically in people, and how people’s habits can change based on the amount of unrelieved emotions. Listen to Kristina talk about how we can identify some of those potential behaviors in our own lives during the third segment of the first hour of the podcast.
Our next guest on the show is Catherine Grooms, MBA, Director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at College of the Canyons (COC). Catherine calls in to the show to provide information and advice for small businesses navigating through the uncertain times brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Catherine has been the Director of the SBDC for over 20 years, and has helped small businesses all over Santa Clarita recover from other natural disasters (earthquakes and fires) that have shut down business in the past. Catherine and her staff of experts at COC are a resource for small businesses of any kind, and they encourage you to reach out so they can help work through these challenging times. With such a large amount of experience in the field, Catherine is one of the best in the business at making the tough decisions that will keep your business afloat while getting back to where you were (and beyond!) before the outbreak of Covid-19. Listen to Catherine’s excellent advice in the first and second segments of the second hour of the podcast.
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…
