The WEA's region
retreats took place during the month of
September this year. Topics of discussion
and professional development included,
among others, Student Learning Objectives, advocacy, and
building mapping for membership. WEA members had the
chance to network, learn, and decompress after the first few
weeks of the school year.
The Southeast and Southwest Regions had question-and-answer sessions with both of
the State Superintendent of Public Instruction candidates. The Northwest Region took
time to invite candidates for state legislative races for question-and-answer sessions as
well.
The Central/Northeast Region retreat found creative ways to present member benefits
with a geocaching event. Attendees took part in the exercise using GPS equipment to
"caches," but also take in the beauty of the HF Bar Ranch, outside Buffalo, WY.
If you have any ideas for retreat trainings next fall, please contact your local leadership
topics, trainings, etc.
