After a weekend of reflection and rest, I was ready for another busy, but exciting week. On Monday, I participated in a conference call with NCCAT. Dr. Mary McDuffie is retiring and the search committee has a difficult job to find someone to fill her shoes!
Tuesday was a very exciting surprise! Along with Dr. Atkinson, Jan King, Brandon Patterson and many others, I had the opportunity to attend the surprise announcement of the 2010 NC Milken Award winner! The award was given to Ms. Kimberly James, a teacher at Triangle Montessori in High Point. Her face was priceless! She was so honored and humbled by this prestigious recognition! Congratulations Kimberly! Following Kimberly's announcement I attended our weekly NC EPFP meeting in Raleigh. We talked a great deal about strategic planning and policy making. I always look forward to our weekly meetings! I learn so much!
On Wednesday and Thursday, I attended the December SBE meeting in Raleigh. Many interesting things were discussed and you can always find more information from the monthly SBE meetings by clicking the highlights link on the right!
Thursday afternoon was the first committee meeting for our Governor's Education Transformation Commission Teacher and Leaders group. We had interesting presentations regarding quality teachers and the recruitment and retention of such folks. It was an interesting conversation! We also talked about the proposal from the SBE to provide incentives for hard to staff schools. I would love your input regarding teacher incentives and so forth!
I spent Friday in the office attempting the sort through the mounds of paperwork on my desk!
