Teacher Leadership Conference set for late October   

Governor Rounds' 2006 Teacher Leadership Conference will be held Oct. 30-Nov. 1 in Pierre. Each year, the event draws approximately 400 teacher-leaders from across the state. This year's agenda will include sessions on the 2010 Education Initiative, students at risk, school leadership, student health issues, and students living in poverty.

Later this summer, superintendents will receive a mailing inviting them to nominate teacher-leaders from their district to attend this information-packed event. Teachers attend the event free of charge, and accommodations are provided at no cost.

Please mark these important dates on your calendar and plan now to send someone from your district!



Research regarding preschool clearly demonstrates benefits, particularly for disadvantaged children. The 2010 Education Initiative calls for expanding access to preschool for 4-year-olds.
