On the road...

I would say "again" and force all of you to silently sing a rather well known country song in your head. However, it doesn't really fit the situation so I'll spare you the tune. I just boarded a charter bus and am on my way to St. Charles, MO. Why? Two words. Professional Development. I (and around 80 other educators) am on my way to the national conference, PLC at Work. And while a few friends have questioned my sanity, I am really excited! I love how conferences help me to examine my own best practices and re-think my classroom and instruction. So, over the course of the conference, I plan to put that reflection here. I need to mostly for my own benefit so that I can always refer back to it... Even when teenagers aren't so wonderful and I'm buried under a mountain of stress.
