Meredith, Carrie, Lorrie and I are on the last night of our time in Baltimore, Maryland. We were invited to the Teach to Lead conference, hosted by the U.S. Department of Education. I submitted the project proposal to the conference and we were one of 29 proposals selected from across the United States.
We spent two days designing a Logic Model for our project - the Northwest Louisiana Teaching Lab. Our project is a grassroots movement that provides Professional Development FOR teachers, BY teachers. WE also provide support and guidance for new teacher in our ever changing world of Education.

| Special thanks to Olivia Zepeda (Arizona) and Michael Murphy (NYC), our critical friends offering their advice and asking "Why?" |
While in Baltimore, we had the opportunity to discuss our plan with Interim U.S. Department of Education, Dr. John King.

We were also able to work collaborative with TeachingLab - a nonprofit organization developed by Silas Kulkarni and Max Wagner based on our model.
We are looking to expand our work throughout our district - Bossier Parish.
To keep up with our work and join in our efforts, follow the project on FaceBook, and follow us on Twitter!
