THE ART OF ASKING QUESTIONS
Bill Siegel Thurs., Dec. 9th 6:30 pm
Educator and Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Bill Siegel will be leading a discussion at Pacific Hills School on Thursday, December 9th at 6:30 pm, about the Art of Asking Questions. Drawing from his 15 years traveling the country as a teacher-trainer for the Great Books Foundation, where Mr. Siegel is Vice President for School Programs, as well as his years writing and directing documentary films including The Weather Underground (Co-Producer and Co-Director), Hoop Dreams (Researcher), and Muhammad Ali: The Whole Story (Researcher and Writer), Bill will share insights about the ways great teachers inspire students by asking the right questions at the right moments, and the ways questioning and listening strategies can change the way we understand the world.

IMMIGRATION AND STUDENT SUCCESS
Jennifer Kwon Dobbs will be reading from her poetry at Pacific Hills School on Sunday, January 9, 2011. A poet, librettist, teacher, and critic, Professor Kwon Dobbs was born in Won Ju Si, South Korea. Paper Pavilion (White Pine Press 2007) is her debut poetry collection. Her poems have appeared widely in anthologies, film, journals and on radio. A professor of creative writing at St. Olaf College in Minneapolis, and a former Angelino, Kwon founded a community outreach program for low income students in Los Angeles that continues to make a positive difference in many lives. Following the poetry reading, Professor Kwon Dobbs, along with PHS Head of School Peter Temes, will lead a panel discussion on Immigration and Student Success, exploring the ways that parents new to the U.S. can support their children’s success in competitive schools.
A light dinner will be served. Please RSVP to attend these free events at (310) 276-3068, ext. 113, or awagner@phschool.org.
