Mayor Smyth on Reopening Santa Clarita — May 19, 2020
On this episode of Eye On The Valley presented by SCVi & iLEAD Schools, Amber is out, and Matt Watson drives the show today.
Our first guest on the show is Santa Clarita Mayor, Cameron Smyth. Mayor Smyth calls in to the show to provide a much-needed update on the status of reopening in Santa Clarita. With various parts of the country beginning to officially reopen, people in Santa Clarita are wondering when we will be allowed to completely reopen. Mayor Smyth clarifies that Santa Clarita is subject to whatever Los Angeles County decides to do and expresses his desire to reopen Santa Clarita. Mayor Smyth also talks about how the data in Santa Clarita has been very positive and does not support the implementation of orders that are being put in place for the city of Los Angeles. Mayor Smyth gives an update on the letter he sent to Los Angeles County and whether Santa Clarita will be allowed to progress on a different schedule from the rest of the county.
Our next guest on the show is Sara McDaniels, Show Producer. Sara is also an integral part of SCVi and iLEAD Schools, and she calls in to the show to talk about how her role has changed during her time at SCVi. School is a place where kids and young adults go to learn, but Sara talks about how educators often find themselves learning just as much as their students during their time as a teacher. SCVi’s founding principles and mission statement are not just designed for the students who attend the school, but also for the facilitators and other staff that help each kid learn. Sara is very skilled in many areas, and has her hands involved in a variety of SCVi’s most important programs. In addition to the projects Sara is currently involved, Sara has helped developed a number of SCVi’s other most successful academic plans and procedures. With an unmatched passion for helping others learn, Sara loves her job and is excited for her future plans at SCVi. Listen to her full interview in the first and second segment of the second hour of the podcast.
Our last guest on the show is Kristina de Bree, MA, LMFT, EMDR, and she calls in to talk about the negative affects that long-term stresses can have on a person.
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…
