School Convocation Day

Well, what do you know? Deb Delisle was the keynote speaker today at our opening convocation, and what do you think she focused on? 21st Century Skills, working in COLLABORATIVE GROUPS, and Informational Technology. Talk about twists and turns! She also emphasized the importance of the teacher-student relationship and building that rapport (of course!).

I was just thrilled that my classroom plan fits right in with that of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state of Ohio. I sat there listening to her and I must've had a stupid grin on my face, although I hope not. Just was a true affirmation for me today and I feel good about the direction I've chosen.
