This is a group for anyone interested in sharing thoughts and ideas for improving academics in Lower, Middle or High Schools. Whether you are a parent, teacher or a student we want to hear from you. Our kids are home during summer for 10 weeks or so and this would be great forum to learn what is available and what other parents do to nurture creative growth in next generation. We can have events on regular basis for idea sharing.

This is a network for educators, designers, critical thinkers, makers and educational reform junkies starting up make spaces and design thinking curriculum at schools in the Bay Area. This group will meet to gain much needed collaboration and real face time with like-minded people working hard to reform education. Never underestimate the creative power of a beer, a napkin, a pen and a good conversation!

Calling all international student and scholar advisors in the Bay Area! Let's get together for wine and regs AND regs and wine! Hoping to create additional opportunities for us to get together outside of NAFSA conferences and BAPIER meetings to connect and discuss tricky advising situations and regulatory changes. I'd love to start off with having a monthly meet up - 3rd Wednesday of each month? Depending upon the level of interest - more info coming soon!
