For the third year I am looking forward to participating in this summer's FRSSI at the University of Houston. This year I hope to see more of my colleagues attending the workshop. In the past years it seems only the same three or four teachers out of a faculty of 160 attend this type of workshop or seminar. There has only been one department chair out of eight and no administrators out of 17 ever participating. I am wondering why the school's attendance is so low and why the formal "leaders" of the school are not participating. It is a great opportunity to collaborate with other peers and professionals facing the same dilemmas, look at best practices, and explore new avenues to meet the ever changing needs of students at risk ofr failure in the high stakes accountabily climate in the state.

I venture to say you are not alone. There are many people out there and have no where to turn - so you have to keep working and know you are a great role model for a teacher leader.
