I’m at High School’s New Face this week, a cutting edge conference in Ellicottville, New York. I’ll be blogging about it all week from the perspective of a conference participant in the Personalizing Learning strand with Monte Selby and Tony Limoges. If you are interested in the vision of education in Western New York, you can check back here for the blog posts or better yet, go to the HSNF website to catch the streaming video. Today is a set up day for all of the BOCES staff development and tech experts and I’m lucky to be here helping with set up.
This is the same conference I attended last year where I learned about and started blogging with Will Richardson. It was the best learning experience I’ve had in many years so these guys have some big shoes to fill.
My hope is that blogging about the conference will help share the learning with others who are interested in improvement in education. We have 48 high school teams attending, four people on each team. Our Gowanda team arrives tomorrow–hope they’re ready for a week of learning, including an opportunity to challenge their thinking. Looking forward to seeing you–Joe, Barb, Beth, and Amy from G-Town and all of our participants from across Western New York.
