Happy Friday, DVC Family!

As we get ready to launch another school year, we want your feedback on teachers’ project ideas.  We’re inviting students, parents, professionals and other stakeholders to DVC on Tuesday, August 10th from 9am-10:30am to help teachers plan for the upcoming school year.

At this event, DVC stakeholders will hear “Project Pitches” from teachers and then provide feedback that makes the projects better, more real-world, and more culturally responsive.  Nothing you need to do to prepare in advance; just sign up and share with your networks. Students will learn more effectively because of your contributions ☺ See more details below.
