RAS Advocacy Trg

Well, I went to see Supt Sicoli speak at PMS. Similar messages to when he was at ZLE, however I'll post my notes in a couple days.

With that said, who attended the Advocacy training and what are your thoughts? Here is a link to the RAS Advocacy site if you are interested.

I was there, and while I expected much of what I saw, it was still almost blatant in its theme: deception.

It was all about "telling your personal story" rather than actually discussing facts, policies, budgets, and consequences. They even recommended bringing a picture of your student to prop up while you tell your personal story! If I were a Legislator, I would tell them, politely, to put their props away.

As many as half there were the Special Ed crowd, including the guest speaker, who are very versed in this tactic. And never seem to be satisfied.

All told, I wouldn't have come had I known.
