Laurene Weste and SCVi’s Project in Space — December 20, 2018
On this episode of SCVi’s Our Way On The Highway, Santa Clarita City Council Member Laurene Weste joins the show to talk about the history of Santa Clarita and, later, SCVi Learners talk about their science project launched to the International Space Station. She talks about how her and other city council members have fought to keep Santa Clarita feeling like a big, little town on the outskirts of Los Angeles. There is rich history in the Santa Clarita Valley, and Laurene has helped this valley develop and continue to grow. As a member of Santa Clarita’s City Council, Laurene shares great information and insight into what makes this valley so attractive and inviting for so many people.
Later in the show, Learners from SCVi come in to talk about their science project that was sent to the International Space Station that is orbiting the planet right now. The students created the project through the Dream Up program at SCVi, and is just one of the many great programs available to Learners at SCVi.
Finally, Kenchy Ragsdale comes in to talk about his experiences as a parent, and how SCVi has positively impacted his children’s lives.
Listen in as Matt, Amber, Laurene, Kenchy and the Learners from SCVi talk about the history of Santa Clarita and the incredible project conducted by SCVi’s Dream Up program.
At iLEAD Schools, our mission can be stated simply: “Free to Think. Inspired to Lead.”
Our vision is to use project-based and social-emotional learning concepts to inspire and motivate lifelong learners with the skills they need to lead in the 21st century. We incorporate technology into every component of our curriculum, and we value and encourag the development of leadership skills by inspiring confidence and character in each of our unique learners.
We know that for our learners to succeed, they must feel at home in the world. This requires a firm grounding in the arts, humanities, and sciences — and a strong foundation in social and emotional development. We believe there is an implicit, as well as an explicit, curriculum to teach, and our goal is nothing short of shaping learners who change the world.
iLEAD Schools are based on a new paradigm: Project-Based, Deeper Learning. At SCVi, we create open, innovative K-12 learning environments that promote a deeper understanding of curriculum and celebrate independent critical thinking, cooperation, and the development of crucial 21st century skills.
Affectionately known as “Danber,” Dawn and Amber are passionate about creating educational options for families that are innovative, engaging, and supportive. They opened SCVi in 2008, and have since successfully launched several other school sites under which became what is known today as the network of iLEAD Schools. Dawn and Amber’s compassionate, open leadership style enables families and educators the flexibility to collaborate and work together to create viable solutions in all kinds of education, ranging from full independent study to full classrooms based options and everything in between.
