Taishya Adams, Director of State Services, tells us her favorites of the day:
Link: In preparation for National Charter Schools Week (NCSW), we will be hosting a webinar on Wednesday, April 18th at 4:00 pm EST. During the webinar, we will review the 2012 NCSW Advocacy Toolkit, offer guidance on potential activities, and answer any questions that you and your members may have about how to improve public charter school laws and regulations at both the state and federal levels. Please join us for the first in a series of webinars designed to offer tips and tools to more fully engage the collective action of charter school individuals and communities in policy advocacy.

Like: I stayed up late last week to watch the NCAA Men's Basketball Final between the University of Kentucky and the University of Kansas. It was made even more special knowing that a charter school graduate, Anthony Davis, led Kentucky to win the championship. The commentators talked at length about the depth of talent on the Kentucky team and stressed that talent in isolation was not enough to win the game. To win, these talented players had to work as a team, be generous, and supportive of each other. That's exactly what they did! Let us take a page out of their playbook as we look down the road at National Charter Schools Week. This week is the only opportunity where the light shines solely on charter schooling in the United States. Together, let's make sure the light shines so brightly that it reaches Mars!
