Wk 4 Publishing Leadership Project "think-out-loud" part 2 of 3

ICOULDBE.org

I miss understood the earlier "think-out-loud" instructions for our Publishing Leadership Project this month and posted both of my thoughts in an earlier post. (see Wk2 BP: Publishing Leadership part 1 of 2)  

I am choosing to present my ARP findings at this moment, however publishing a paper down the road may be a possibility as well.  

The academy program  I'm affiliated with requires high school juniors to have a mentor experience and the focus of my action research project was related to E-mentoring programs.  Our students are participating with ICOUDLBE.org (ICB) an online nationwide mentor program.  My students have been participating all year and I ran 2 data collection cycles, one in the fall and one this spring.  The purpose was to see if students were more motivated to plan for  their future career/college goals.  The ICB makes presentations every year and are interested in hearing directly from teachers who are using their mentor program.  Teacher presentations are a way for them to market their services as well as demonstrate the validity and benefit of online mentoring. 
The date for the 2012 conference is pending because of the state budget uncertainties and is yet to be determined.  However I will be pursuing contacting Jerry Stewart the regional manager of the ICB organization, to find out more about presenting with her next year. 

Two possible conferences include:

  2. CA State Center Consortium
