Wk 4 PLP: I FOUND IT!

Please take a look at my presentation https://files.me.com/jalxeller/m45ftl
let me know what you think.

[From TIVA's website] "TIVA is the professional organization for Career and Technical Educators certified in  Trade & Industrial Education. TIVA participates in activities that assist in the professional growth of our students. Teachers are kept abreast of activities that affect their lives through regular email updates, newsletters and postings at http://www.tiva.org. Two conferences are run annually in the summer and winter where workshops, specialized training, mentoring and networking opportunities are primary objectives. Advanced certifications and TEA accredited activities dominate the organized activities occurring during both of these week-long conferences. A key to the success of the conference training is the wide spread involvement of industry leaders and instructors in the training sessions and workshops. TIVA is also the proud sponsor of the Manny Contreras Teacher Scholarship and the SkillsUSA-Texas student scholarships.  TIVA is a member of the Texas Career and Technology Council (TCTC) that unites all Career & Technical teacher associations.  We are the key state advocates for Trade & Industrial teachers and sponsor several state-wide awards as well as work to promote our teachers for key national teaching recognition. One of the highlights of the year for teachers and students occurs during our SkillsUSA-Texas Day at the Capitol in Austin where TIVA arranges to have the students sit in the Texas State House of Representatives and conduct a mock legislative session."


So, I called the Executive Director, Linda Holcomb, and she has agreed to let me do a late application to the July conference. If I can't get on the schedule for this one, she will reevaluate for the Mid-Winter, January 2012, conference.
