RTI Conference
I attended the Response to Intervention/Instruction (RTI) conference in Anchorage two weekends ago. Its all about how we can not only catch students with additional learning needs earlier on, but also how to accommodate and include them into the general classroom. I learned so much and got an approving "Woo Woo" from ANITA ARCHER! Uuugh Amazing!! I met a bunch of new friends with great connections for the education field. There were also some celebratory shots taken at the end of the night, much enjoyed by the Tununak group :)
Because most of the staff was gone for the RTI, we ended up having a "snow day" the following Monday because we had to fly in Monday afternoon. As a result, the Snow Day Shot was created!

NEA-Alaska Delegate Assembly
I was elected to be the LK-NEA delegate to the big Alaska teacher union meeting. I had so much fun there meeting different people in my school district AND new friends over all the state. I even led a few dancing break interludes which had second in command, La Dawn, quite the fan of yours truly :)
While there I started my own "motion" to better teacher's lives in Bush Alaska and 500 teachers supported it FULLY! I went to my first union meeting and got a motion passed! Woot woot!
I was also elected to two Union positions: PACE and RA. PACE is basically a political action committee...I have to follow the news now and follow it and understand it. yay grownup pants! Then after state wide elections last week, I was nominated to be the NEA-Alaska Region IV Delegate to go to the National NEA meeting in Denver in July. So instead of speaking in front of 500 teachers and educational support staff, I will be speaking in front of over 30,000!
Man am excited, its already been a crazy year, and it is just getting better and better!
