Description: During our Instructional Leadership course via California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), we were provided with the opportunity to use our acquired knowledge and skills to develop a one-day educational fair in the city of Maywood, California. On October 15, 2016, cohort eight hosted the eighth annual Maywood Education Fair. The annual Maywood Education Fair is an initiative that started back in 2009 by a MSHE student in efforts to increase the college going culture within Maywood and the surrounding communities that are underrepresented. My partner and I specifically were task to produce workshops for the High School students and their families as they attended the fair.

Reflections:

Ultimately, our high school program was a fruitful and indelible experience. We were able to provide a variety of imperative recommendations that can further aid future program developmental structures to expand the positive impact on our high school students of Maywood and the surrounding community. In result, our attendees included students and family members, who provided positive energy and were profoundly engaged in discussion and receptive to the information we dispersed.

 As expressed, we built upon the framework of Yosso’s (2006) concept of the holistic asset based Community Cultural Wealth approach. In addition, we developed detailed learning outcomes to apply the needed direction of our programs to essentially attain our learning goals for the students. Through our formal and informal assessment, we were able to identify that our high school students of Maywood had an acquired awareness of college but also need further support along the way expand their experience of validation. Consequently, we firmly believe that our programs were successful and we hope that our program direction, assessment findings, and finalized suggestions can be useful for future workshop implementations.
