I’m moblogging this at the airport, so please excuse any departures from my usual flawless prose. Air Canada will be taking me to Toronto, where I’ll pickup a car and drive to northern Ontario — where I’ll be worked hard over the next couple of days.
Tomorrow will begin with a three-hour address to the faculties of the Bluewater school district, about 700 face to face and video casted to eight other sites. The afternoon will have me doing a followup workshop with teachers who signed up.
Then it gets really interesting that evening, when I address parents from across northern Ontario. I do this fairly frequently for schools and districts, but this is a brand new presentation. That always makes me nervous.
Then it gets even more interesting the next day. All I’ll say at this point is that the district is experiencing declining enrollment, and they want to better serve their customers. The district leadership wants me to help. I hope to have something positive to report in a couple of days.
Dave,
Please consider podcasting your talk to parents. This is one area we don’t explore nearly enough.
I’ll also be watching closely your talk to a school division with declining enrollment. I’m in the exact same situaiton.
