The CADA State Board welcomes you to The Spirit of New Orleans.

Program Guide

We know it hasn’t necessarily been easy for you to get here and we know that this year has been challenging on too many levels. Too few dollars chasing too many problems and too oft en not enough resourc-es to do the kind of job you want to do, the kind of job you need to do.

But you are here now and we’re happy you made it; we’ve been wait-ing for you. What you need is the Spirit of New Orleans. It’s some-thing that becomes a part of you bringing joy to your heart and music to your soul.

For the next four days you will experience a place where custom is honored and festi vity is a way of life, where coming together and be-ing a part of something greater than yourself is the norm. It will boost you up, and carry you through the rest of the school year and into the next with enthusiasm and energy to share.

We thank you for coming. We thank you for all you do for your stu-dents, your staff and your community. And we thank you for lending your spirit to the Spirit of New Orleans 2010 CADA Conventi on.

Safe Schools Seminar - Wednesday, March 3 - 9:00am - 12:00pm Do students feel safe at your school? Bullying, hazing, and harassment are severe problems on school campuses nati onwide. The U.S. Department of Justi ce states that every month 1 out of every 4 kids is abused by another youth, and 77% of students are bullied mentally, verbally, & physically. Do staff members at your school know how to combat this pervasive problem? Or do they look the other way? Our schools need to be a safe place for teaching and learning or these harmful exchanges will have a lasti ng impact that disrupt the educati onal process and maim the school community. This interacti ve session will att empt to defi ne the terms, identi fy potenti al victi ms and their perpetrators, and fi nally look at some innovati ve programs focused on creati ng safer school environments for both students and adults. Featuring a screening of the award-winning fi lm, TEEN TRUTH: BULLY, this unique session will change the way you think about bullying and school violence and ulti mately provide insight on how to make students and staff members feel safer at your school.

1. Att end EVERY session you can. Especially make it a point to att end the “New to Conventi on Beignets, Coff ee and

Connecti ons” on Thursday from 7:30-8:45. Nevada Room downstairs. Curriculum for session by The Boomerang Project

2. Open your conventi on program and check out all the sessions. Choose a fi rst and second choice in each ti me slot and

plan to arrive early—the sessions fi ll up fast. The Carson and Crystal Rooms are upstairs, the Nevada Rooms are downstairs

3. NETWORK—talk to people who have been to conventi ons before and fi nd out who they recommend. Also check out our

list of recommended workshops below.

4. A great way to meet people is to come to the Area Hospitality Suites on Wednesday evening from 9:00 p.m. unti l

midnight.

5. Att end your Area Meeti ng (Thursday from 4:35-6:00 p.m.). You’ll meet other advisors who live close to home. Plus there

is a raffl e and you might just win something fun.

6. The Area Meeti ng on Thursday is where you get your dinner dance ti cket. You trade the voucher from registrati on for a

ti cket. (It’s the only way to get a seat at dinner.) The dinner dance (with dessert hosted by Josten’s) is a great ti me; be sure

to wear semi-formal atti re and bring your mask (available in the bookstore for purchase), or just wear your nicest clothes.

7. Stop by the CADA Store and the Vendor Exhibits. You’ll be amazed at the resources you’ll fi nd…and the vendor give-

aways are a treat you won’t even fi nd in New Orleans.

8. Get your Meet the Pros or Curriculum Roundtable ti ckets at the Area Table when you check in. (You’ll get other goodies

there also, so be sure to check in at your area table right aft er you fi nish with the main registrati on or the New to Conven-

ti on Concierge room!) If you don’t happen to get a ti cket there is usually space available aft er the ti cket holders go in.

9. Wear your conventi on name badge to everything except the dinner dance on Friday. (But remember your ti cket for

dinner! They actually collect them.) And speaking of food—you won’t go hungry at this conventi on. Wednesday

evening there will be tasty snacks at the Area Suites and Thursday evening you can nosh at the French Quarter Festi val in

the exhibit hall. The conventi on at a glance will have all of the Area Suites listed.

10. Plan to sleep when you get home. You’ll need some Visine and a litt le coff ee—but don’t miss any of the sessions. This

only comes once a year.

We suggest the following sessions for first time advisors:

Although Workshop sessions are designated as being Specialty sessions designed for all experience levels or having a Newer Advisor or More Experienced Advisor Focus, att endees are free to att end the session of their choice. We think that all of the sessions have value with a broad range of subjects presented. Pick the one that you believe is an area that will benefi t your school and you as an advisor.

The following sessions may be parti cularly helpful to newer advisors looking for the basics.Sessions 3 and 4 Understanding and Communicati ng your Philosophy, Vision, and Core Values Organizing Your HS Leadership Program Nuts and Bolts of Meeti ngs and ASB Finance Friday Fundays X! / Spirit Rally Ideas

Sessions 5 and 6 Crazy Crowd Pleasers / Spirit Acti viti es MS Leadership Class Organizati on Legal Issues

We want to honor you by giving you an enti re hour alone in the Exhibit Hall Thursday from 11:30 to 12:30 to wander and have the undivided att enti on you deserve. You have priority seati ng at this year’s new Sixty Tips in Sixty Minutes (on Friday morning). The front rows have been saved JUST FOR YOU!
