I'm going to be a Classical Conversations director. Yikes!

We were in a group in Memphis and loved it, but then we moved. I am starting a group here in Wichita and am excited but I'm a little nervous about enrollment. We are fairly new to town and I don't know a whole bunch of people yet. I already have a couple of moms interested in tutoring and hopefully they can help me build the program. Any advice from other directors, tutors or members?

This will be my first year directing. Last year I tutored Essentials. We live in a very rural area so we won't have a large group. Since I'm having a baby soon that is okay with me. I hope you have a great year!

What exactly do you do when you're Classical Conversations Director? Sounds interesting, but I have never heard of it....have I?

[Crissy]

That sounds exciting, Dawn.
I hope you'll keep us up to date with your progress.

I am from Wichita!!!! Do you go to church somewhere there? I grew up there my whole life and my parents are still there.

GL on the CC director. In the words of the great Ronald Reagan, "delegate, delegate, delegate"

I am looking into doing this, is the process as intimidating as it sounds?

It's going fairly well. I have completed my director training and will be going to a Practicum in a few weeks. I have one tutor so far and have 2 more information meetings planned. My state manager emailed me a packet that gives details on how to have a successful info meeting and my first one went well. I am in the final phases of securing a facility now. I am just trying to spread the word to everyone and get families signed up. I haven't begun to look at supplies and stuff like that until I have an idea of how many students we will have.

If you decide to do it, let me know and we can try to help each other.

We go to a church that's only a few years old, but I've heard that it split off from Tyler Road Baptist. The people there have been really great and my kids instantly felt comfortable there. It really got us through that first winter to have such a loving church family. About February, as my dh was shoveling snow, again, he was ready to sell the house at a loss and move back down south!

You probably have seen other posts about it, but skimmed over them. I have done that several times, looked over stuff because it wasn't pertinent to what I was focused on at the time and then a few weeks later think, where was that post I saw about....

Classical Conversations is a great program, but obviously it's not for everyone. You can check out the website here (http://www.classicalconversations.com)
There will be a map there to see if there is a program in your area.

Is everything going smoothly so far? My church is having lots of questions about insurance and liability before they approve us to meet there. I'm trying not to get anxious about it, but I need to get an answer soon!

I am attending the Parent Practicum in a couple of weeks and have a tutor at one this week. I have several families interested, but no one has given me registration yet.

GL to you in your program!
