Introducing the Journey
My suitcase is packed, all of my materials and electronic gear accounted for, and I’m heading to Atlanta for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards 2009 National Conference and Exhibition. This trip will be my third in as many years to participate in national teacher leadership activities with NBPTS, but there’s an important difference this time, as I’ve taken on this live-blogging assignment for Teacher Magazine. I’m also proud to be writing under the banner of the Teacher Leaders Network (TLN), an outstanding group of educators whose collective wisdom and support helps to shape nearly every conversation I have and every word I write about education. I hope you’ll be interested in reading some of what happens along the way in my journey, and I invite you to add your thoughts and comments as well.
