I am now home and recooped from the Colorado School Board Association Fall Conference. My husband thinks I'm crazy and just "asking for it" by getting involved in the school board! Let me tell you, after going to this conference I have a whole new perspective and am so energized! I now know WHY I have taken on this task!! WOW what an motivational insight into school systems today and the role us EVERYDAY PEOPLE can take!!
This conference was basically a day long educational session on Restructuring Standards in Colorado Education and a 1/2 day legislative Delegate Assembly voting and debating new resolutions to be proposed to legislation. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... WHAT you say!! I know it sounds mundane and boring but MAN whre my eyes opened up! There was an amazing motivational speaker, Michael White, that gave an inspiring address to open the conference! If you can get him to come to your school you won't regret it!!
Maybe it is the political side in me coming out that enjoyed this conference so much! I made some fantasic contacts and got to rub elbows with people I feel REALLY can make a difference in MY school system! The amazing thing is that they are like me... just everyday people, living an everyday life in rural America caring for the future of thier children and WANTING to make a difference!!
