May 15, 2007, meeting with 39th District Legislative Representative
Dan Kristiansen at Monte Cristo Elementary
|
You Earned National Board Certification, Now what?
Lead presenter: Kelli Femont assisted by Debra Howell
and Andrea Peterson, all NBCTs.
The session focused on discussions around leadership
qualities we find in other leaders as well as with ourselves.
NBCTs discussed ways to become more involved at the
school district and state level by moving into leadership
roles. The group consisted of nearly 50 participants
including many NEW NBCTs! The WNN web site was discussed
and everyone was encouraged to visit it and become more
actively involved in contacting policymakers.

2nd Congressional District Representative Rick Larsen
meets with Andrea Peterson, NBCT at Monte Cristo Elementary,
Granite Falls School District in October, 2006

| My visit with Congressman Larsen was
a real eye opener! I was impressed with his attentiveness
and insightful questions. He asked me about curriculum
choice, classroom management, cross-curricular applications
and much more. In retrospect, I wish I had been a little
more prepared. It occurred to me that I should have had
questions for him, as well. What does he see as the major
issues in Washingtons education system? What needs
are the most pressing in his view? The answers to these
questions would have been very enlightening. I think as
advocates for education we need to understand where our
policymakers are coming from, before we can expect to
influence actual policy.
Andrea Peterson, NBCT
