public and will have the same posts as the Facebook page– but there won’t
be follow-up comments and posts from other teachers.
I have a lot of my own ideas, but what I really want to do is to collaborate
with all of you. I know there are people with exciting ideas whose
professional and personal obligations keep them from running for leadership
roles in MMEA. If you have a resource or idea to share, please get in touch
with me and we can work together to make it happen.
Looking forward to the next two years!
