I spent the day Monday at an education reform symposium in Novi, Michigan hosted by the Michigan Education Association, the Great Lakes Center for Education Research and Practice, and the National Education Policy Center.
For someone like myself who likes to learn more about everything, discuss education policy, and hear from experts, it was an incredible opportunity.
At the request of the organizers, I had the unique opportunity of picking up the keynote speaker, Diane Ravitch, and ensuring that she arrived safely at the conference.
It isn't everyday that a high school social studies teacher gets to meet a world renowned author and educational historian, much less get time to discuss current events and public policy. I leaped at the chance!
