MESSAGE FROM FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, JIM WARFORDOriginally published Friday, March 19, 2010.  FASA understands that even when budgets are tight and travel is cut, school leaders must still have access to quality professional development. We have been working to help. This June... FASA proudly presents - iConference - "Leading Learners to Greatness" - June 14 -18 & June 21-25. If you can't travel to a conference, FASA will bring a world class conference to you, right in your district via the web at a small fraction of the cost! FASA's iConference will feature: * Keynote sessions - delivered right to your site via the web, live and interactive, web cam of speaker, audio - ask questions and interact * Unlimited 24/7 access - all district educators to all programs until Jan 1, 2011 * Keynote Speakers include: Sir Ken Robinson, Michael Fullan, Willard Daggett, Victoria Bernhardt, Ray McNulty, Charlotte Danielson , Will Richardson, Jim Warford, Ken Kay, Jeffrey Wilhelm, Rushworth Kidder * District leaders can build their leadership development programs, and customize the program delivery to meet your needs * Use the iConference as part of your district leadership program - run book discussions, facilitate discussions and provide access to schools and teachers. * Participating districts will be invited to "Showcase"- exemplary practice in leadership from your district * Significant cost savings (in addition to travel & time) - priced according to district size * A Virtual Exhibit Hall, Bookstore, opportunities for follow up and much more are being built into the conference and is included in pricing. * Registration fees vary depending on size of district and the kind of participation desired. * Costs for participating in live & interactive keynotes for an entire district can be as low as $200 per school. On Demand, unlimited access only is even less. We will not cancel our July Summer Leadership Conference in Orlando. Our summer conference in partnership with STEM Florida will bring you the most up-to-date professional development in STEM standards. But we want you to have a choice and we know that some of you can't travel. Period. We also believe that on-line learning will play an even bigger role in the future. So FASA has worked with our partner, JK Thomas and Associates, to provide you a cost-effective and engaging iConference experience. Florida's first! Click here to give your response by April 2nd. More details and information will follow soon. Finally this week, we also have lots of news to share about the 2010 legislative session. For the very latest information, clink on the Video Update link on our FASA homepage. Our latest edition will be up this weekend and Juhan Mixon, Jim Hamilton and I will cover all the K12 Budget and funding news come out of the capitol this week. Have a great day!
