Public Policy Site and Strategies Launched
Change -
it's uncertain; happens quickly or too slowly; and is all around us. But we can affect it. In fact, we need to be agents
of change in our field. That's why public policy and advocacy are coming to the
forefront in KDP goals. Peruse the new policy site and join the discussion!
Summer Is in Session!
In case
you are among the few (and lucky) people with "lazy, hazy days of summer" to fill
with activity, here are a few ideas.
*Reading: for K-12 teachers,
for the educational-policy
interested,
for variety
and fun, and
for a different
take;
*Continuing Education/Professional
Development:
for undergrads, new teachers, and veterans who want
to earn CEUs or grad credit;
*Vacation
with Purpose: vacation and
volunteer,
learn, or
teach.
Convo Connection
Still
trying to decide about Convo? Here are a few reasons to put Convo on your Must-Do
List: First of all, it's the Centennial Celebration! It offers uplifting
affirmation for educators,
top-notch workshops to put you at the head of the class,
and keynote speakers, such as
Jason Ohler, who
inspire and motivate you to new heights. Check some wallet-friendly helps on
travel, attractions,
and the hotel, including
finding a roommate, and
more.
