Objective 1: Attend local, state, regional, or national conference related to educational leadership.
Pacific Circle Consortium Convention, July 18-22, Minneapolis, MN
The 42nd annual international conference was held in the Twin Cities. It was an amazing opportunity to learn from other educational leaders from across the globe and to also realize that we are facing similar struggles and triumphs in educating our people. I was fascinated to know that there are "achievement gaps" between the racial minority and majority students of Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, and Guam. The reasons and histories mirror our own here in the United States.

Mental Health Training
I participated in an all-day mental health training where we were taken through several processes and scenarios to be able to recognize the signs of mental distress ranging from depression to substance abuse disorders, to possible self injury and suicide. The training gave me the tools to connect individuals with appropriate support. As a result, I earned CEUs toward my eventual administrative license renewal.
