Recent Updates from the Field
Great start to a new schoolyear!
By Liz Roy - Communications and Community Outreach Manager, October 08, 2009 11:45 AM
Dear Friends,
We are very happy to report that 14 Partnership with Children staff members have been trained to implement our Walking the Path program in six school sites.
They will conduct our new Writer’s Workshops that focus on building students’ writing skills through the use of individual journals, peer editing sessions, and group writing activities.
These new components will strengthen students’ script-writing, the basis of their autobiographical digital stories.
Through such self-reflective activities, our students are able to explore the challenges they have faced in their lives, while also building skills to improve their academic performance.
Please send your feedback - we would love to hear from you!

Walking the Path - Update
By Liz roy - Communications and Community Outreach Manager, August 07, 2009 11:37 AM
Thank you to all of our supporters! Thanks to your generous donations we will be able to expand the number of students who participate in Walking the Path, our digital storytelling program.
This summer, we are updating the program curriculum for the new school year, to incorporate additional activities to strengthen our students' literacy skills.
New to the program will be a four-hour writer's workshop, as well as a series of writing activities in which students will develop their autobiographical scripts. The students as well as a workshop coordinator will review and edit the scripts before they start filming.
Through these self-reflective activities, our students are able to explore the challenges they have faced in their lives, while also building skills to improve their academic performance.
More updates to come with the start of the new school year!
