Teachers Teaching Teachers

On Tuesday, our state representative and fellow teacher, Gene Pelowski taught a class for the faculty representatives in our local Winona Education Association about effective lobbying this upcoming legislative session. I am always interested in ideas to get teachers more involved in the political process.  I would like to think that education begins in the classroom but I know that many of the decisions about what is taught in the classroom are crafted by policy makers in St. Paul.  My thanks to Representative Pelowski for a great class.
