Hello! I'm Deanna Creighton Cook and I've been the coordinator at Manzano Mesa elementary school for 5 years. We are one of the most tenured community schools in Albuquerque which means we have eyes on us all the time! We have innovated some really cool programs such as Homework Diner which was featured on NBC Nightly News and is now in 9 other APS schools and 4 other states! I am passionate about meaningful family engagement and how adult education can create cultural and generational shifts…
Hello! I'm Deanna Creighton Cook and I've been the coordinator at Manzano Mesa elementary school for 5 years. We are one of the most tenured community schools in Albuquerque which means we have eyes on us all the time! We have innovated some really cool programs such as Homework Diner which was featured on NBC Nightly News and is now in 9 other APS schools and 4 other states! I am passionate about meaningful family engagement and how adult education can create cultural and generational shifts that will have lasting impact on families. I have to say my first year as coordinator was very difficult and it was attending the coordinators network preconference meeting in San Francisco in 2012 that kept me going! Thank you for the support.

<p>Hello, I'm Damion. I am the other co-chair of the Coordinators Network along with Liz The Great. I have been a community school director for COMPASS Youth Collaborative at Asian Studies Academy for 6 years. Previously I ran summer and after school programs for another non profit that focused on Participatory Action Research. My passion derives from knowing that everyday I am able to make a difference in communities that need it the most.</p>

<p>Hi! I'm Jennie, I am a Community School Coordinator at the Cesar E Chavez Learning Academies, specifically for ArTES Magnet High School and the Social Justice Humanitas Academy in San Fernando (Los Angeles), CA. I'm also on the Core Team. I used to be a high school teacher in Annandale VA. I cultivated many partnerships for my students and their families but quickly realized they weren't sustainable without others being part of those relationships. So, I studied sustainable partnerships and leadership for school development as part of my masters program....and that's how I grew passionate about the community schools movement. Though I believe all community schools movements must start with AMAZING teaching and curriculum, community schools strategy and thinking helps students achieve full self actualization. </p>
