👏Let's give a big hand to this week's LOD awardee for his tremendous work at putting #studentsfirst! Congrats, Nefi! "Nefi is a Senior Supervisor in the Department of Extended Learning and Community Schools (ELCS). Nefi supervises the Northwest region and oversees nine program sites. Some host after-school Enrichments and ELCSports in addition to their Discovery Link programs. To ensure all students have the best experience in our program, Nefi supports the development of processes and procedures for program supervisors and their staff. Nefi has been instrumental in creating documents to hold program supervisors and their teams accountable for delivering a high-quality program experience for all students. A safe and welcoming environment is crucial and plays a role in creating a positive team culture. To support this initiative of high-quality programs, Nefi has all program supervisors and their teams complete a list of roles and responsibilities, program supervisor's expectations and working agreements. In addition, he facilitates program supervisor micro-session meetings to support the preparation of full-day programs so all students have a memorable experience. I admire how Nefi puts students at the forefront of everything he does. His work is centered around leading and coaching his program supervisors so they can coach their teams and make all the ELCS programs the best they can be for students. Thank you, Nefi for your hard work and for being a stellar role model by putting Students First." — Leah Martinez, Extended Learning and Community Schools #denver #employeeappreciation
