Hello TAIA,
I just returned from Austin and the first round of the 2010 TEKS Train the Trainer session, I was selected as a Super
Trainer along with Olin Harrington, all that means is that we get to lead the 2nd day of the training with our fellow TDL
Instructors. We had a good time, it was interesting and went a long way to explain some of the changes. I left there
with a good feeling and an understanding that these new TEKS, and course titles, while different, will in the long run allow
us the flexibility to design our programs to meet the needs of our students and communities. The TEA Staff has done a lot
of work in preparing this and it shows. If you are headed to Austin in November have a great time and as we get ready to offer
the training thru our Region centers and Proffesional Organizations be POSITIVE, we are being offered oportunities to better
meet the needs of our students. And that is what it is all about.
Mid-Winter Conference registration is up and running so get registered now, do not wait til the money is gone and the
rooms are full.

I
hope that everyone had a safe trip home. I really enjoyed seeing all of you and I thought we had a great Conference. If you
get a chance thank Linda, Jennifer, and Olin for all the hard work that they put in to the conference and training sessions.
Please take the time to drop an e-mail to some of the vendors, trainers and businesses who hosted us this year, that make
a huge difference in their attitude about participating next time.
We
had a great TAIA meeting and I want to say that I appreciate the passion that you all put forth about your programs and our
association. Please be mindful that we are being looked to by Ron Whitson at TEA to be the Teacher organization for the Transportation,
Distribution and Logistics Cluster. Our efforts and meetings should involve all disciplines and curriculum in this cluster.
