Joyce Valenza
Joyce Valenza continues to inspire, amaze, and wipe me out! The energy and passion she brings to providing the best materials to her students is amazing. Many people at the conference regretted that she had to rush so much to present such a tremendous amount of content. However, Joyce’s dedication to her students and commitment to being there for them prevented her from getting to the TASL conference until late Friday night. With only 2 50-minute sessions and a keynote, she compacted three 2 hours workshops into less than 3 hours. Pretty amazing. Of course, she couldn’t have printed enough handouts because I think she went through 900 pages of material. (Okay, I’m exaggerating, but even my head was spinning at the end with the vast possibilities out there.) Joyce designs her workshops to inspire and excite you. I am including the links below for you to go and download each of her presentations. Then, take some time and go through this at your pace. Click the links that you promised her you’d visit. (I was there, I know who you are!) Find something new and think about it. Save the documents and refer back to them as you continue to EXPAND YOUR HORIZONS. I enjoyed my time with you at the conference and look forward to seeing you in Chattanooga next year, then Franklin the following 2 years.

Diane,
Thanks so much for this wonderful coverage of the TASL Conference 2005. I missed it this year, but after looking at your postings, I feel I was there after all!
