Hello Everyone,
Well, it's half way through October and hopefully our classes are up and running somewhat smoothly. Just in time for Halloween! I have two questions/requests. The first is a request. If anyone is going to the Rural Renewal Conference in Vancouver on the provincial pro-d day, would they stop me somewhere along the way and say hello. I will be wearing a committee name tag. I would also appreciate if you are a member of this blog if you could post a quick blurb to everyone after the conference about it: what you learned, what you liked/disliked, was the food good? The second is a question. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in an "on-line Lottie?" The Rural Strategy committee has a very good mentorship program set up for new-to-rural educators, but not all rural teachers are able to participate. If you would like to be an on-line mentor, or you would like to have an on-line mentor, either post it here, or e-mail me at vcivey@xplornet.com. This is a very informal mentoring idea. I have a list of teachers already that are willing to participate, so I can match you up with someone who has a similar assignment. How you communicate with each other will be up to both participants.
I hope you all have a great Halloween. I'll post to you later.

Hi. I was at the conference, in the New Rural Teachers cohort. I appreciated the networking, connecting or re-connecting, and I especially appreciated the all-day workshop with Faye Brownlie. She always inspires me. I'm a bit of a back-to-the-lander, however, so it was serious culture shock to stay in such a fancy hotel, where a bottle of water costs $4.50 and the tv comes with a keyboard. Is anyone using any of the strategies we learned about? -Keri from Shearwater.
