A leadership day

I spent today with 27 of my Leadership students attending a CADA Youth Leadership Conference at the Tulare Farm Show facility. The kids were well behaved, but I was not impressed with the location or the event. I loved the two keynote speakers, but the breakout sessions were a little disappointing. Two of my groups reported that they shared more ideas with the presenter than they got from the presenter.

A highlight two years ago was an excellant presentation on poster making. That session really made an impression on me and the students. This year and last year, there was no mention of effective poster making. A downer man.

The students will present their reactions to the day tomorrow in class. I hope they got more out of the day than I did.
