Class presentations

I enjoyed listening to everyone's presentations.  I knew about student-led conferences and mentoring from my own experience and I think they are valuable.  I felt vindicated when Connie and Bret talked about extra-curricular participation and music helping kids with their grades and school satisfaction.  It was interesting to hear Jay talk about contract negotiations from the union rep's side.  I remember that the pros and cons of merit pay is a hot topic from one of our previous WIU professors who consulted with Florida's school systems.  

Thank you Dr. Closen for an informative class.  Since I had no plan on becoming an administrator I was a little worried about this class before.
