Note: This posting will also be emailed to all committee members.

The big event is almost here!!! Thanks to all of you for your work in helping make sure our symposium is a success. Here are a few reminders and updates - apologies for the length of this email, but we wanted to avoid multiple emails.

Our last CISC symposium planning meeting was scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, February 5th from 1pm-3pm online - however, we have decided to CANCEL that meeting to make the best use of everyone’s time, as we can cover any meeting items at our on-site meeting on Tuesday. If you have a question that needs to be addressed prior to Tuesday, feel free to contact me or Stephany Prater (registration questions) or Stacie Post-Sheffer (logistical questions).

Our on-site CISC symposium planning meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 10th from 1pm-3pm at the Hyatt Regency OC in Salon Room VI - this room will be our committee prep area for the entire symposium.

Our CISC symposium pre-event committee dinner is scheduled for Tuesday, February 10th at 6:30pm at Naples Restaurant in the Downtown Disney District (1550 Disneyland Drive, Anaheim). Thanks again to Kitty for making the reservation!

We will review registration booth “work” assignments and liaison roles at our committee meeting on Tuesday, and info is also posted to the CISC newspage (www.scoe.org/cisc). Those of you working in liaison roles should have already received a separate email regarding being a liaison.

On-site contact information for CISC symposium committee members is posted on the CISC newspage, or can be found by clicking here.

Vests that were ordered but not picked up at January’s committee meeting will be brought to Anaheim for distribution at the on-site committee meeting.

For other event details...please either refer to the website or the long email that was sent to all event attendees!

We are so close to seeing the success of all of our work - can’t wait!

To keep our CISC symposium planning committee all on the same page, we want to alert you of some various location/timing changes that have occurred within the last week related to speaker sessions and the Exhibit and Imagination Space.

The Exhibit and Imagination Space will now be located in Royal A&B
Horacio Sanchez's presentations will now be located in Garden 4
Jim Knight and Russell Quaglia's presentations are now in Royal CDEF instead of Royal ABCDEF

A few other minor time changes occurred with some quick talks and other sessions - the most up-to-date session postings can be found on the CISC Symposium website on the Schedule/Session Description drop down page - click here to view this page, and then click the day to see the sessions for each day.

If you want to access the detailed schedule meant for coordinators ONLY, please click here. Please DO NOT SHARE the link to this document with general attendees!! This detailed schedule includes presenter liaison, room host liaison, and door monitor liaison assignments. You'll notice we still have liaison gaps, identified in blue. If you'd like to sign up for one of those empty spots, please email Stacie (spost@scoe.org).

Thanks to all for the work you've done to support this event! We will send out additional reminders and info as needed over the next 12 days.

"What if...?" Video Submissions Needed for 2015 CISC Symposium (Due 1/21/15)

Date: 12/01/2014
Author: Stacie

As discussed at our recent planning committee meeting, we are creating a "What if...?" video to use at the opening general session of the Symposium. The plan is to have people complete the sentence starter "What if...?" using three additional words to express their hopes and dreams for the future of education. The three words should be written on something and either videotaped or photographed. This is a slight variation on Good Morning America's "Your 3 Words" segments, so here's a link to give you an idea of what we're planning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txCDcE6Y6Es

We would like to include videos and photos from people all across the State (and we're especially interested in having students participate). You may want to include backgrounds of places your region is known for (the ocean, Golden Gate bridge, vineyards, etc) - but this is not required. We will need the videos and photos submitted no later than Wednesday, January 21st. To submit a short video clip or photo to be included in the compilation video, please do the following:

Film or photograph the person's three words (videos must be in mp4 format)
You will need to collect a signed photo/video release from anyone appearing in your photo or video. You can use your county's form, and you will keep this documentation.
Send an email to Stacie Post-Sheffer (spost@scoe.org) with the subject line What if...? Video - Region ___ (<-- include your region's #) with the attachment of either a photo or an mp4 video. IMPORTANT: To indicate that you collected the photo/video release for your submission, include the following sentence in the body of your email: "A signed video/photo release form has been collected from all persons appearing in the attached video/photo." Submission emails that don't include this sentence will be returned to the sender for correction.

Please send this info out to the county offices in your region that may be interested in participating.

If you have any questions, please contact Dan Blake at dblake@scoe.org or 707-524-2780.
