Well, we go to a lot of coffee, but it's not just left one.
This left in Annapolis this morning, National Conference of State Legislators and I went through all the education segments and there was a lot of talk about community based learning.
And community based learning is about developing partnerships with people in the community and having those people who are willing to serve as mentors, having businesses who understand the importance that if they want to have a workforce in the future, they may need to have some skin in the game now.
So it's about developing those relationships.
Get your local chamber, your rotary, Kawana is your faith based community together, Get all these components together.
But that takes energy and it takes time.
But I did become aware of some potential ideas and people talk to me about about how we can engage in start the process of engaging our communities, engaging the schools and the communities engaged together.
I think it's important and that has to be an essential component of this.
And I think I would very respectfully challenge community partners to go to the schools and districts and say, How can we help you?
This is this is the support we could provide, because there they are doing the day to day of teaching and learning, and they have all of these beautiful faces in their classrooms.
And so there's not time in a school day to always make that call or to seek out that community partnership.
And so if we could find a way to bring folks together to have those conversations and to to find additional ways to collaborate, then I think that certainly will only benefit the students within those schools and districts.
