School’s out, but Bow Tie o’ the Day and I took a drive out to Syracuse High School this morning. Suzanne was the bigly deal speaker at a professional training day, held at SHS. She got the gig at the last minute, and she’s been working non-stop on her presentation for the last week. I asked her if I could attend her presentation. I’ve never watched her spread her education wisdom to other education professionals, but it has always been on my Bucket List. She let me know my butt was welcome to sit in her audience.
Suzanne is not good at everything, although I can’t really think of anything she can’t do. Her presentation this morning, called “Find Your Passion,” was brilliant, and her speaking performance on the stage was captivating. She is masterful at what she does. I learned plenty. The rest of the audience gained new insights too.
Suzanne moved from being a superb teacher at Clearfield High School to working for the last decade as a district administrator. Part of her job is teaching other educators, but she misses teaching kids. Suzanne makes a huge impact where she is, but I feel kinda bad that high school students are deprived of her teaching. Just sayin’.
