I'm Going To Be A Presenter/Panelist At A Convention Next Month

[Dinger]

Never done that before. The NIEA (National Indian Education Association) Convention will be in Milwaukee. I'll be presenting on a new curriculum on the Mohican Nation (Stockbridge Munsee Community). I have started teaching the curriculum this famm. I'm putting together a Power Point presentation with pictures and video. Eeew, I hate taping myself teaching. But I wanted to show some examples of this wonderful teaching unit. I'm learning a lot as well. I'm a little nervous. Hope I don't screw it up. All I can do is my best.

1. In spirit...

...I'll spend positive thoughts your way. I'm sure you'll do great! :grouphug:

2. I'll look forward to hearing about it.

Travel out of state is not in my, or my district's, budget any year soon.

3. You'll be great

I'd like to hear the buzz about this crappy Race To The Top nonsense.

4. Earlier In The Week I'll Be Going To Madison To Represent Our School

For a Wisconsin "School Of Promise" award. It is given to school districts with a high poverty rate who perform well on state tests.

Here is a little info. There's more info on the award at the bottom.
