Who has the voice in education? Who advocates for education?
We need to advocate for our profession. In your building, district, and state, here are some talking points you can use to begin discussions!
1. The people involved are not necessarily the ones making the decisions... How do we organize and have our voice heard?
2. Can we create an organized way to communicate with our legislators?
3. We have to be a 'salesman' for change. Can we include the community?
You should strive not to be the best in the world; rather, be the best for the world!

About Me
- Donna DuBois
- I began my teaching career in Utah earning a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. Topics of study included literacy instruction, and child development. This concentration gave me a strong foundation in understanding best practices for elementary students. In 2006, I earned a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership focusing on learning assessment and system performance. This specialization provided advanced graduate training in both practical & technical aspects of documentation and use of school outcomes. My focus included understanding systems for assessing learning and utilizing results. During my 20 years as a professional educator, I have taught 2nd-5th grade. I also taught K-5 technology classes. Additionally, I held the position of Title One Coordinator and in 2007-08, also I worked as a professional development specialist for our central office. In this position I created and taught many professional development workshops in literacy education and technology integration. In 2010 I was named Oregon Teacher of the Year. This honor allowed me to attend International Space Camp, meet President Obama, and to collaborate with educators around the world.
