Whew! What a ride :-) This past year has been such a nerve-racking, yet rewarding experience for me. Planning and presiding over a state wide conference was more work than I could have imagined, but I learned so much.
Although I didn't get to attend any breakout sessions, I was responsible for choosing them and I was pleased to see that many dealt with writing strategies in some way. It always seems that reading takes the forefront in English Language Arts instruction and I was happy to be able to offer a fine mix of both, along with the other 21st Century skills of building community, motivation, engagement, cooperation, and technology.
Congratulations on a successful conference! I presented at the OCTELA conference on Saturday and found it well organized and pleasant to attend. Great work!
