The 2013 ALWC Committee
February 2013

Getting settled in and started after the wine and cheese meeting and greeting around the dinner table
A typical Salon conclusion with new ideas, new friends and happiness.
Hear what some people are saying about the Salon:
“It's so important for us to remind ourselves what it's like to be in the student's shoes. Experiencing an activity I might ask my students to do gives me a fresh perspective of their experience. Also, it was great to meet colleagues and bounce ideas around with such a warm friendly group. As teachers, we are so often isolated from each other in our own classrooms, so it's a wonderful opportunity for fellowship.” Marcella
“Excellent Salon that made me think deeper about the kinds of questions I ask my students. Time to do some high-order thinking for my next class! Good refresher on 4 types of questions. Friendly, and I feel so comfortable networking and chatting with other attendees.” Angie
