The National TOY Mission
Today was a long, but productive day. The National Teacher of the Year program is sponsored by The Council of Chief State School Officers and the ING Foundation. Today we were challenged by a number of speakers to think more about how we can provide better advocacy for education. We learned about federal/national trends in education and reflected on how we can become agents of change. Members of the National State Teachers of the Year organization spoke of a continued our role, a continued association and an opportunity to impact education after our year ends.
We also learned more about upcoming events for the year. We will be in Washington D.C. in April, Space Camp during the summer and attend a conference in Princeton, NJ in the fall.
The day ended with a wonderful reception and dinner hosted by eInstruction at the Dallas World Aquarium. There we were entertained by a demonstration of Mayan culture and dancing. The food was great, the conversation was better and I personally am exhausted!
