Training Fun!!

I am on lunch break from the training here in DC and wanted to update everyone. First, the training is great. Love meeting and connecting with other new presidents of large locals. It is so comforting to hear that other people are having the same challenges, questions, and to hear other solutions. Last night we got to go to the NEA building and meet Vice-President Lily Eskelsen! I will post a picture later today.  Thanks again to the people who trusted me to represent and lead them!!

Training - Off to DC

I am off to Washington DC to receive training for new presidents of large locals. I am very excited about the training and about being in DC. As some of you may know, I moved to Georgia from the DC area 8 years ago. I love DC, all the things to do, the history, but.... hate the cost of living and the winter!! I will still be in touch while I am gone, so don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything!

National core standards make long-awaited debut tomorrow in Georgia

National core standards make long-awaited debut tomorrow in Georgia


I am an avid reader of the get schooled blog on the AJC. Today I was reading the posts about the new standards, the fact that another school district is in danger of losing accreditation, and the NEW Race to the Top application. Great place to get information! Thanks Maureen!
