Wednesday April 23, 3:30-4:30 pm 
Agenda 
1. Plan some focus groups with students (and teachers?) this spring to get their input on the Summit.
2. Identify specific strands or topics to include, for example, some suggestions so far:
- Global Perspectives on Diversity and Citizenship Education (Jim Banks & Walter Parker
- International Studies & Human Dignity (Scott Wyatt)
- World Languages (including language immersion and heritage languages)
- International Education and the Washington State Essential Academic Learning Requirements
- What does Cultural Competence mean?
(please bring more ideas…)

3. Draft a communications plan for the next few weeks. (Who to send what to when?)

Progress this past week: 
- Held second Summit Planning Meeting (click link to read meeting notes: http://www.scn.org/internationaledwa/summit/plan0414.htm )
- Got info from UW and SPU about clock hours and credit hours for teachers
- Attended first meeting of new Steering Committee for Washington State Coalition for International Education (facilitated by Cynthia Rekdal)
- Contacted PTA leaders about submitting a PTA Advocacy Topic on International Education to Washington State PTA
(see criteria: http://www.wastatepta.org/programs/advocacy/pradso.htm)

Follow-up Questions for the larger Coalition group:
After you've read the Meeting notes on the web (or let me know if you need me to send them to you in an email), I'd love to hear your views on these questions. Email your comments to michele@anciauxinternational.com and I'll summarize them for the group.
1.  Proposed Summit theme: What do you think of "Learning in an Interdependent World"? What would that mean to YOU?
2.  Educators: We'll definitely offer clock hours for the Summit, but how much interest do you think there would be in offering a one-credit course that involved attending the Summit plus one or two sessions before or after (perhaps via satellite) and some outside work? (The cost would be about $130.)
3.  Non-profits and schools: How much interest do you think there would be among your organizations in coming to the Bonus Resource Session (about 3-5 pm on the day of the Summit) to display and share resources for educators and parents and community, as well as meet people from other non-profits or schools?
4.  Principals: Would it be useful to offer a Principals' Roundtable session where principals involved with (or thinking about moving into) an international/global education focus could meet and talk principal-to-principal?

Thanks. I look forward to seeing any of you who can make the meeting. 
Michele
