Okay, it's a few months after the fact, and I didn't shoot this myself... I just searched for Texas education videos. And there it was, the Texas TOY Ceremony over at the Sheraton around Thanksgiving of last year.
I actually stopped by this luncheon on my way back from Johnston one Saturday. It was inspiring to see the kindness and enthusiasm and optimism of the teachers. I think this should be required attendance for the entire SBOE and every senior administrator at the agency. And, truth be told, all of us who get a little grouchy when the House Pub Ed hearing lasts more than 4 hours. This is one reason why we do it.
