Take Aways

It will take me some time to process all of the great information from our week in Dallas and I will try to capture a few of the key points this week. But I was reflecting on my trip as I drove to the SBE meeting today and I thought I should at least post a few key things I learned!

1. NEVER wear heels to the airport. It can make for a long, tiring walk to your terminal!

2. Though it pains me to admit this: NEVER pack 8 pair of shoes for a 6 day trip. Yes, I did wear all but one pair...but really probably not a smart move.

3. Teachers are nation builders! We are builders and not wreckers!

4. There are some pretty AMAZING teachers across the U.S.

5. If you laugh every night, you can skip your ab work-out!

6. If you want to be humbled, inspired, challenged and wowed, hang out with my fellow teachers!
