Toward a More Entrepreneurial Idaho Education System

Posted Sun, 09/02/2007 - 4:20pm by author

Notes from August 28 Listening Session with Karen McGee
(executive director, Idaho State Board of Education)

Planning to have more - Very productive - notes appended below. Will keep you posted re future meetings.

Two key takeaways from Tuesday are:
a) need to start rounding up volunteers to be role models -- speakers at Idaho high schools & junior highs. (hint, hint...)

b) more youth entrepreneurship, starting with a long look at Junior Achievement. (If any of you have any experience, again we're all ears.)

NK (more after the jump...)

"If I can't understand it, it must be easy!" - Dilbert's pointy-haired boss

a quickie here... a phenomenon that we might all want to think about...

the really short version:

1) Don't assume that others know the same things you do. Even when they should.
