After months of work, conference calls, and details- we are ALL here, on the ground, in gorgeous Rio. Finally we matched real people to the pictures on our team page and voices on the conference calls. Yes, Linda O. is almost as tall as Allen (in her mind). And Jana is smaller than her pic would lead us to believe; and her mom, Susan, is just as delightful. Mark's finally hit the waves, surfing Linda's board in Ipanema. And Becca, Gail and Glenda opened their lovely apartment for the larger team meeting. Carmelita's our bravest, bringing her 2-year old & husband, Jeff, too. While Lucy appears to be an old-pro, with husband and her two children traveling like veterans. Lydia's turned into our team photographer, capturing the sights and sharing on DropBox. While Wadean taught Linda O. the difference between Subway sandwich shop and the actual subway stop in Ipanema. Jackie has a ready smile, and her retired attitude are the envy of the group. Linda K. was last but not least to arrive-- but made it only 20 mins. late, considering she thought she might not make it at all! It's hard to believe we get any work done in this gorgeous environment with all these great people, but nose's to grindstone, we do!Dr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-34761556433333101342012-04-01T01:37:00.003-07:002012-04-01T01:42:44.750-07:00Rio thru Lydia's Lens<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L8DEc20dHGk/T3gUvZHRWLI/AAAAAAAAAF0/AB7CTu1R7kI/s1600/lapaarches.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-L8DEc20dHGk/T3gUvZHRWLI/AAAAAAAAAF0/AB7CTu1R7kI/s320/lapaarches.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726349730629376178" border="0" /></a><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tuJiPmdTNKI/T3gUvHjPTNI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1DfqBq5hrto/s1600/christfog.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tuJiPmdTNKI/T3gUvHjPTNI/AAAAAAAAAFo/1DfqBq5hrto/s320/christfog.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726349725914844370" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0nWTUfpXbAA/T3gUvzw96XI/AAAAAAAAAGA/nlqERRFMOz4/s1600/sunset.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0nWTUfpXbAA/T3gUvzw96XI/AAAAAAAAAGA/nlqERRFMOz4/s320/sunset.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726349737783585138" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="addImage();" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);;ButtonMouseDown(this);" class=" on" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Add_Image" title="Add Image"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Add Image" class="gl_photo" border="0" /></span></span>Dr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-70412675585271779722012-04-01T00:39:00.002-07:002012-04-01T00:40:57.880-07:00WORK SESSION AT PARQUE LAGE<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w28gv2pgHug/T3gGTMBvIGI/AAAAAAAAAFc/4wJNgKehFbc/s1600/lydia.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w28gv2pgHug/T3gGTMBvIGI/AAAAAAAAAFc/4wJNgKehFbc/s320/lydia.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726333852917375074" border="0" /></a><br />By Lydia Ramos<br /><br /><span style="font-family:Calibri;">If it’s good enough for Snoop Dog, it’s good enough for the early birds of Team 2012.

The group then discussed hiring practices within LAUSD and debated the merits of the current system while seated at café in Jardim Botanico. <span style=""><br /></span></span>Dr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-75817872241614516662012-03-31T02:55:00.001-07:002012-03-31T02:58:02.836-07:00WORK SESSION AT PARQUE LAGE<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tJeqMmufGxU/T3bU0PVXoNI/AAAAAAAAAFE/IqSFkR_LhBs/s1600/peekaboo.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tJeqMmufGxU/T3bU0PVXoNI/AAAAAAAAAFE/IqSFkR_LhBs/s320/peekaboo.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725997970182611154" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AgDcE2eXk_M/T3bUubJpJeI/AAAAAAAAAE4/qMZrhEmdcaU/s1600/teamParqueLage1.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AgDcE2eXk_M/T3bUubJpJeI/AAAAAAAAAE4/qMZrhEmdcaU/s320/teamParqueLage1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725997870275438050" border="0" /></a>Dr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-14736984742408343512012-03-30T15:08:00.001-07:002012-03-30T15:11:21.865-07:00TEAM'WORK' ON THE BEACH<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M_pOMFR8VVs/T3YvcxeSRjI/AAAAAAAAAEs/IDmboS1r1Fo/s1600/teamSaidera.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M_pOMFR8VVs/T3YvcxeSRjI/AAAAAAAAAEs/IDmboS1r1Fo/s320/teamSaidera.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725816147611371058" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Blog by Jana Davenport<br /><br />Starting bright and early at 8:30 in the morning, the team got right to work reviewing their administrative achievements to fine tune their CAPSEL assignments.

/></a>Let's work together to make your work EASIER for the CAPSEL's Final Report. Please post some of YOUR top leadership activities. All we need to start is a draft of the activity in only 1-2 sentences. And I'll join in with editing ideas and help you polish them up. :)<br />Remember to add NUMBERS/STATISTICS that support your activity.<br /><br />Here's an example:<br />Your Draft: I developed a discipline policy which reduced suspensions at my school.<br />Polished version: I led a school committee (15 staff/parents) for 3 months to develop at 6-page schoolwide discipline policy for my middle school (1300 students). Student suspensions dropped by 35% within the first year of policy implementation.<br /><br />Ok, now you try one.<br />Your activity should be stated in 2-3 sentences ONLY. PUT YOUR NAME IN ALL CAPS AT TOP OF YOUR COMMENT. [below the comment box, you will be asked to "Comment as". Select 'anonymous', because your name is already listed at the top of your comment in all CAPS, right?] <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /><br /></span></span>Dr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-37313891514524138742011-10-06T18:35:00.001-07:002012-02-02T02:49:49.946-08:00BRAZIL TEAM NEWS - OCTOBER 6, 2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NYrQPr5uBdU/To5XouQHdNI/AAAAAAAAAD8/9tEoaJpa87M/s1600/ipanema.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NYrQPr5uBdU/To5XouQHdNI/AAAAAAAAAD8/9tEoaJpa87M/s320/ipanema.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660558138773304530" border="0" /></a><br /><div id="yui_3_2_0_20_131794903318983" class="yiv2034877686MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:center;line-height:normal;" align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b id="yui_3_2_0_20_131794903318982"><span id="yui_3_2_0_20_131794903318981"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1317949066_0">BRAZIL</span> PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL LEADERS</span></b></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></div> <div class="yiv2034877686MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:center;line-height:normal;" align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><i>From the ‘virtual’ desk of Dr. Orozco</i></b></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></div> <div id="yui_3_2_0_20_1317949033189119" class="yiv2034877686MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:center;line-height:normal;" align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;"><b><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://leadership-innovation.org/"><span style="color:purple;">http://leadership-innovation.org</span></a><br /><br /></b></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></div> <div class="yiv2034877686MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></div> <div class="yiv2034877686MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Brazil Team 2012,</span> </div> <div id="yui_3_2_0_20_131794903318996" class="yiv2034877686MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; line-height:normal;"><span id="yui_3_2_0_20_131794903318999" style="font-size:100%;">Oi! from Brazil.

We left at 7:15 and hopped on a bus<br />to Corcovado. The heavens aligned and the bus was on time, so we arrived at<br />8:00, purchased our cog train ticket for the first ascent of the day. We<br />traveled upward through beautiful forest to the 704.6m-2310ft summit. We<br />arrived in a cloud - literally. As we watched, the mist burned away<br />gradually and we were treated to the etherial emergence of Cristo Redentor<br />(Christ the Redeemer). Slowly the clouds lifted on Ipanema, then the rest<br />of Cidade Maravilhosa was revealed below us. We enjoyed refreshments and<br />had a work session in this inspiring setting. As we began our return to<br />home base, we saw many residents carrying palm fronds and remembered that<br />it was Palm Sunday. <br /><br />Back at Rene's and Janine's, most of us had another work session and<br />interesting discussion while a few of us headed to a soccer stadium to<br />enjoy an afternoon game.<br /><br />In the evening, we walked to Garota de Ipanema (or Veloso Cafe), where the famous song "The Girl<br />from Ipanema" was written. A Wikipedia article describes the famous story:<br />The song was inspired by Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto (now Helô<br />Pinheiro), a fifteen-year-old girl living on Montenegro Street in the<br />fashionable Ipanema district in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Daily she would<br />stroll past the popular Veloso bar-café, not just to the beach ("each day<br />when she walks to the sea"), but in the everyday course of her life. She<br />would sometimes enter the bar to buy cigarettes for her mother and leave to<br />the sound of wolf-whistles. In the winter of 1962 the composers watched the<br />girl pass by the bar, and it is easy to imagine why they noticed her — Helô<br />was a 173-cm (five-foot eight-inch) brunette, and she attracted the<br />attention of many of the bar patrons. Since the song became popular, she<br />has become a celebrity.<br /><br />The last hold-outs walked across the street and listened to Bossa Nova<br />music at Vinicius Show Bar.<br /><br />Another great day!<br /><br />- PaulaDr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-65128942462252959612011-04-19T01:49:00.000-07:002011-04-19T01:54:49.728-07:00The Whole Cohort Combines!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_p31cU4QOEM/Ta1NYFqAf8I/AAAAAAAAADU/lk5r7tNwO-Y/s1600/satblog.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_p31cU4QOEM/Ta1NYFqAf8I/AAAAAAAAADU/lk5r7tNwO-Y/s200/satblog.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597214988121964482" /></a><br />SATURDAY SUMMARY<br />The Whole Cohort Combines!<br /><br />Tier II Brazil had a great Saturday. The early arriving group (who started on Tuesday) had the morning off to see the city or work on portfolios while the later arriving group kicked off the program with an orientation from Linda, including a walking tour of our immediate neighborhood in Ipanema. And then or the first time, the whole group came together for a tasty “por kilo” lunch at Broth. Beverly, principal at Far West High School in Oakland, had her ticket drawn from the hat and won a free lunch. The early group taught the later arrivals the lyrics to “Cidade Maravilhosa” over our desserts, and we belted it out as best we could to an appreciative lunch crowd. The group reassembled about 45 minutes later near Posto 8 on Praia de Ipanema, where Fatima found space for us in the teaming Saturday beach crowd and set us up with beach chairs, umbrellas, and coconuts. <br /><br />After pairs reviewed few of each other’s portfolio documents, Linda led us in a discussion of where each of us is on the continuum from ethnocentrism to ethnorelativism, couching the concept of intercultural development within the larger context of global leadership. Then we took a swim. <br /><br />We capped off the class with another halting performance of Cidade Maravilhosa. Linda saved us by recruiting a couple of cariocas (Rio locals) to model the melody and pace, and the group responded with a rousing effort that brought applause from the surrounding thongs. <br /><br />After dinner on our own, we traveled by Metro to the Lapa district (home of the famous white arches), where Paolo met us for the walk to the local music scene. We ate, sampled the local drinks and beer, and listened to samba music under the waxing moon. <br /><br />-by Nancy & LeoDr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-60020919444958440482011-04-16T15:16:00.000-07:002011-04-16T15:23:11.039-07:00VIN DIESEL SIGHTING IN RIO<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zrjdND-WGgo/TaoWZHN_dVI/AAAAAAAAADM/f2R90C-rzZs/s1600/vande.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zrjdND-WGgo/TaoWZHN_dVI/AAAAAAAAADM/f2R90C-rzZs/s200/vande.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596310107651536210" /></a><br />Bom dia de Ipanema!<br /><br />This morning started off with 5 'Californian Cariocas' taking a run along Ipanema from Posto 8 to Posto 12 in Leblon and back. After failing to do any pushups or pullups, the ocean cooled us off before getting to 'General Orozco's' SHARPLY at 8:30where we sang 'Cidade Maravilhosa' as a group in preparation for our ensemble for the children in the favela on Monday. After harmonization, we escaped for a change of venue to Dilma's apartment where we enhaled her air conditioning while everyone focused intently on their documents... while humming 'See-dah-gee mar-a-veal-oh-zaw'... In the afternoon, we decided to divide and conquer, with some going to the Urca - SugarLoaf area to work and some of us riding the wave in Ipanema to get the two biggest portfolio docs complete. A fine middle eastern feast 'Rio style' was a well earned reward! <br /><br />PS: Kim is still blushing from our encounter with Vin Diesel and 'the Rock' on top of Sugar Loaf in preparation for their movie premier of 'The Fast and the Furious 3' set in Rio...<br /><br />-Kim and Corbett<br /> Dr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-64303197096932549412011-04-14T17:43:00.000-07:002011-04-14T17:46:47.626-07:00ENJOYING RIO HISTORY BETWEEN WORK SESSIONS<div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R34FIK4WPtc/TaeVJ6Sp4KI/AAAAAAAAADE/eWb_fKwks7s/s1600/DAVE.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 200px; height: 150px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595605059529990306" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R34FIK4WPtc/TaeVJ6Sp4KI/AAAAAAAAADE/eWb_fKwks7s/s200/DAVE.jpg" /></a><br />Today, Corbett, Jesus, Kim and Leo started the day off bright and early with a run on Ipanema Beach while the others enjoyed a couple more hours of sleep. It’s amazing to start the day at 6:30 in the morning seeing the beach and streets bustling with people and energy.<br /><br />We all met at Linda’s apartment at 8:30 am (sharp!... Linda likes us to be punctual) and got to work. We started reviewing our CAPSEL’s principal analysis assignment and that evolved into an enticing conversation about teacher and administrative credentialing programs, job descriptions vs. evaluation processes, the economic state of California today, the magnitude of the current jobs of school leaders, tenure systems etc. Linda had to finally refocus the group of burgeoning philosophers and critics in the room. After our morning work session, we hopped on the metro, guided by the expertise and experience of Linda and Amira, to our afternoon destination in the area of Flamengo. We went to an amazing “by the kilo” restaurant called Oklahoma. This is perhaps the 4th per kilo restaurant Linda has introduced to the group because she realizes they are our favorite!!! Chicken, shrimp, risotto, fresh fruits and veggies, sushi and… don’t forget the amazing dessert bar! David got to have his favorite… gelato!<br /><br />As Rio can’t be all food and fun, we continued with our work over lunch, reviewing several self-reflections, providing and receiving feedback from members of our team. Next, we ventured on foot to the Museu da Republica (Presidential Palace). The architecture was amazing! Can anyone create those hardwood floors for our homes back in the States? The historical tour of the palace was impressive, yet somewhat daunting due to our lack of knowledge of the Portuguese language. Good thing we knew “meh-t-row” (metro) and found our way safely back home… Most of the gang is currently enjoying some sun and sand on Ipanema Beach, while Kim and David “blog”. Your turn tomorrow team… “too-doo bone”… everything’s good!<br /></div>Dr. Linda Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09493834319951924832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459936816774690091.post-92069693321437956132011-04-14T02:51:00.000-07:002011-04-14T03:17:16.042-07:00CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS 'HIT THE BOOKS' ON IPANEMA BEACH!<div><div><div> </div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pbCL3udIGOk/TabFSLsgP6I/AAAAAAAAAC0/xbALADGd-6s/s1600/photo%2B%25287%2529.JPG"><font></font><img style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 150px; height: 200px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595376503222189986" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pbCL3udIGOk/TabFSLsgP6I/AAAAAAAAAC0/xbALADGd-6s/s200/photo%2B%25287%2529.JPG" /></a><div>The first wave of California school administrators arrived in Rio de Janeiro yesterday for the international professional development program & Tier II, too!

Understanding positive emotions entails the study of contentment with the past, happiness in the present, and hope for the future. Understanding positive individual traits consists of the study of the strengths and virtues, such as the capacity for love and work, courage, compassion, resilience, creativity, curiosity, integrity, self-knowledge, moderation, self-control, and wisdom. Understanding positive institutions entails the study of the strengths that foster better communities, such as justice, responsibility, civility, parenting, nurturance, work ethic, leadership, teamwork, purpose, and tolerance.<br /><br />AFTER COMPLETING ALL OF THE ASSIGNMENTS, PLEASE COMMENT AND SHARE YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THE STATEMENT, "Positive psychology holds great potential for creating environments where children learn, employees thrive, and communities flourish."
