As my second week is coming to an end, I can definitely say that I have learned so much in a short amount of time. This week I met with other colleagues working in different departments in our administration. I had the pleasure of learning what their role responsibilities are and why they do it. 

One of my colleagues is the Director of Family Experience and reaches out to each of our families individually to see how they are doing among other responsibilities. She cares so much about the well-being of our families here at Marburn which is inspiring. 

I have learned that Marburn prioritizes helping families with financial aid and finding scholarships so their children can attend our school and receive the proper educational experience they would likely not have in a public school. Marburn is a need-based independent school, not a private school. 

This week I worked at our Marburn Education Collaborative location in Columbus for a day. Summarizing what I explained in my Week 1 blog post, the purpose of this location is to reach more students who learn differently from different surrounding communities to fulfill our vision of a world where every child may learn. 

We have a partnership with Ohio State University’s special education program to offer reduced-fee tutoring, free early-reading screenings, and educational seminars for parents and teachers at this location. 

I am very excited to help with our upcoming summer school program and meet the students and their families. Follow along to see pictures and updates about the summer school program when it starts on June 27, 2022.
