Sadly I was too busy to attend even a single session of Congress 2007.
A testimonial from the PreschoolGymnastics.org forum:
I realized today while listening to a panel given by Beth Gardner (Heart Of Texas Gymnastics) that almost all of the codes, guidelines, tricks, tips, aces and techniques I use in my daily classes have come from her lectures in the past.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been to congress, and it was a real flash back to hear her teach again. The class was titled, “Organized Chaos: Preschool Class Management”.
She talked about how to deal with troubling situations, how to plan efficiently to be ready for bad things and how to hopefully avoid them all together. Congress is such a blast! There is nothing like a room filled with a hundred hungry, excited people just like you, being led by preschool gymnastic geniuses giving you invaluable knowledge to really put a spark under your butt and get you motivated to run home and improve your program every possible way you can.
Anyway, point being…it made me realize that so far all of the articles I’ve written for this site have been largely if not completely influenced by what I’ve learned from Beth in the past. If you ever get the chance to see her speak I highly recommend it.
“Attitude is 95% of life.”
