Press joins district at education summit

The Crittenden Press will be in Louisville this week to join administrators and board members from the Crittenden County's school district at an international education summit.

The board of education extended an invitation to Managing Editor Daryl Tabor to join staff of the district at a Kentucky Leadership Academy-sponsored International Leadership Summit. 

Participants to this unique, innovative event will have the opportunity to interact virtually and in person with leading practitioners from continents and countries including Australia, South Africa, Iraq, the United Kingdom, China, India and the United States. The event will lay the foundation of the three summit strands: Effective Schooling, Effective Learning, and Effective Leadership in a global society. 

This summit builds upon Kentucky’s work in developing instructional leadership teams and improving performance of under achieving schools and frames it for sustainability around a 21st century, global network. With an eye on helping Crittenden County students compete around the globe, Board of Education Chairman Chris Cook believes this week's event will help achieve that goal.

Inviting The Press to join the summit will provide a unique insight to tomorrow's education in Crittenden County, and Tabor will be blogging thoughts and information on this Web site. Interviews and reaction from Crittenden County's educational leaders can also be found here.
