  • September 22-23, 2003 SSN Workdays.

    Because we have several new districts (and a few established districts with new facilitators), the team has decided to spend the September workdays working with our newest facilitators only. Facilitators from the following counties should plan to attend:

    * Collier
    * Gilchrist
    * Hernando
    * Lake
    * Wakulla

    If any facilitators from established districts not listed would like to attend, please communicate with your district contact. Otherwise, we will all meet together at the January workdays.

    We will meet together at the University of South Florida, College of Education beginning at 1:30 pm on the 22nd and will end by 3:30 on the 23rd. This should give you ample time to drive in on the 22nd and get home at a reasonable hour on the 23rd. More information will be provided soon concerning hotel recommendations.

      At the workdays, Rita Elkins (Brevard County) will provide a training on Public Relations. In preparation for her presentation, Rita requested the following:
      “I would like each facilitator to present briefly (3 minutes) on either their most successful or their most disastrous PR effort. Ideally, this would include actual sample(s) such as brochures, specialty items, video footage, audio tape, tear sheets, whatever. Don't be afraid to share worst-case scenarios - sometimes we learn more from them than good ones. Plus, sharing with an empathetic audience can be healing!”
