A month or so ago I clicked on a link to the Mom Congress. I am a clicking fool lately. If I see it, I must click. Now I must admit that clicking around has led me to opps I would not have known about. Anyway, I clicked on the Mom Congress link. I was intrigued. I intended to apply, but didn’t. I even added the Mom Congress widget to my blog. I am excited for the Mom Congress delegates from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
I won’t be at the Mom Congress at Georgetown University, but I will be doing the next best thing…watching via Webcast. The webcast will be broadcast on Monday, May 3 from 10:30 – 11:45 a.m. My state is represented by Ms. C. Jones of Baltimore!
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will host a town hall meeting with the parent education advocates on the role of family engagement in education reform. U.S. Dept of Education will offer an in-depth look at how parental involvement will be encouraged as part of America’s education goals during the live webcast.
Hundreds of education advocate moms and D.C.-area parents to join Duncan at Parenting Magazine’s Mom Congress on Education and Learning conference at Georgetown University.
