OR
11:00-12:00 Lance will host a session on e-rate in one of the hotel conference rooms
12:00-12:45- Lunch ($10 registration fee is to cover the cost of coffee and lunch)
12:45-3:00- Combined meeting of high school principals, curriculum coordinators and tech-coordinators at ICCC Auditorium. Judd Freeman will conduct conversation on leadership and professional dev. for 30-45 minutes. Following this, each group will have an hour or hour and a half to meet on their own for updates, etc.
We have been hearing about the budget crunch and the lack of subs, but if there is any way to get your teachers, principals and coordinators to this event, I think it will be well worth the effort. Besides, $10 is pretty reasonable for a day of professional development.
See what you can do- and we appreciate any input you have in encouraging your staff to attend.
Thanks,
Nancy
