The trailer is airbrushed and off for clear-coating.  The cycle parts are now being airbrushed.  Within a few weeks I will be flying up to Toledo, Ohio to pick up the Cycle of Education!

Tuesday evening I returned from the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators' Leadership Conference in Little Rock.  The two-day conference was held at the Peabody Convention Center in the River Market area of downtown.  The area has character and feels safe, but I was 0-3 on food purchases!  Yuck.  The rest of the restaurants in L.R. are probably great  (;   ....My luck!

According to the AAEA website:

"The AAEA Leadership Conference was a huge success with approximately 850 attendees representing 129 school districts in Arkansas and two additional states.  Those attending were able to develop an action plan to assist their school/district with implementation of the Common Core State Standards."

I was at the conference listening to teachers and administrators share their pain points.  As appropriate, I shared how 21st Century web-based technology can be used to improve the operations of their school, with the goal of continuous improvement of all systems and decisions based on more holistic data sets.  I helped develop, have used, and now support implementation of these tools.  They are automation solutions that help schools run better, more easily.

More on several of these pain points in blog posts over the next several days.
