It is Charter renewel year for the Bay Area School of Enterprise. Home Sweet Home is well aware of the special place we hold as the lab for the BASE Child Development program. It is exciting to be a part of the high school that has the first student written charter in the United States! Please be aware that AUSD site visits will be happening this Fall. Feel free to share your child's experience with our Big Friends to our site visitors.
Child Development students support the Omnibus Work Sampling System for Home Sweet Home Parent-Teacher Conferences. Every class day, Big Friends spend the first 10 minutes journaling about their interactions with children during lab hours. Cierra and Kathleen have begun to utilize the journal reflections to appreciate how often children and Big Friends interact, and where, how and why. The youth's perceptions will be weighed with the teachers' observations to get a picture of the Whole Child.
