Tools to Help You Plan Your Convention Experience



2008 ANNUAL CONVENTION INFORMATION



Plan Your Convention

Now is the time for action. Outdated teaching practices of a bygone era no longer provide our students what they need for a future adults can only begin to imagine. It is time to breathe life into the knowledge you’ve gained about educating in the 21st century. It is time to embed leading locally, thinking globally into your school board legacy, and to transform learning into a rich, productive life for our children.

For the past two years, CASB’s Convention, Lead Locally, Think Globally, informed you of the challenges students face in this changing world and informed you of tools to provide the best education for students. Use this knowledge and send your students into the future prepared, interested and strong.

Student Leadership Strand

Do you have a student leader or student school board member who would benefit from a student leadership strand at the Convention? Sign them up for this strand that will run concurrently with CASB's 67th Annual Convention!

Students will attend general sessions and targeted breakout sessions that are designed to provide them with opportunities to learn from each other, policymakers and education leaders.

School board members and superintendents are invited to bring student school board members and other student leaders to the CASB Convention.

  • Registration will be limited to two students per high school and six students per district, unless space is available. Attendance is limited.
  • Register early.

District Banner

Show your pride by displaying your district banner!

“How does our district get a banner?”
The L.C.F. Garment Factory will again produce banners for districts for only $70. Banners are 5’ wide by 3’ high, lightweight nylon with high-quality embroidered artwork. Pick your banner color (see order form) and specify embroidery colors on your artwork. Bolder colors are more easily seen from a distance. You will find an order form on the back.

“Our district already has a banner.” If you would like to display your banner, send it to CASB so that it will be included with the others during the first general session on Friday, December 5, 2008. Existing banners must be 5’ wide by 3’ high with grommets in the top corners.

All banners must be received in the CASB office by Friday, November 21, 2008.

To participate, submit one artwork from an Elementary, Middle and High school (because of space limitations, only three pieces of artwork from each district will be accepted).
