TABstock 2019

It was another successful weekend in beautiful Three Oaks, MI. Donna Blue and Blueberry Fields played perfect hosts for our annual TABstock get together for TAB teachers. The weather was awesome and so was the company. My favorite parts are the TAB circle on Saturday morning and the really good side conversations that happen throughout the day. Our big topics were Advocacy and Engagement but many of the discussion dealt with assessment and TAB as a philosophy.  We had attendees from Georgia, Iowa, Massachusetts, Main, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan.

A lot of great quotes were flying around and here are a couple of my favorite things I heard.

"The thing is not the thing - the thing is the child~ Nan Hathaway
"The quiet thinking of creating" ~ Donna Blue
"Thinking about curriculum should be developed as a verb ~ Clyde Gaw

Saturday night we had a wonderful inspiration session led by our host; the Tony Award-winning Donna Blue. Although I missed the last part. the first part hit home with many of the creative people who were there listening.
