Continuing Education - ConEd Meetings
ConEd is short for "continuing education." And, that´s just what the monthly meetings are all about: ongoing training to produce master teachers. Each meeting introduces teachers to new concepts and perspectives on teaching, answers specific questions about how to teach more effectively or about strategies to encourage struggling students, and gives teachers that all-important peer support they need to succeed in one of the hardest jobs in the world. Topics cover a wide range of language arts issues with an occasional venture into math. The information learned at a ConEd meeting can be applied to any instructional situation and using Sail Away curriculum is not a membership requirement. In fact, most ConEd meetings are NOT Sail Away specific. Newcomers are always welcome.
Brenda Murphy, founder and president of Murphy-Cates Academy and Learning Centers, pioneered Sail Away from a heart of compassion for struggling as well as normal and gifted students and their teachers.
"This program is so simple and makes so much sense. It also answers so many questions that developed while using (another) program." --L. Irwin

"I just wanted you to know how thankful I am for Sail Away. My six-year old daughter fought me continually for the first three months of our school year this year. The only thing she enjoyed or looked forward to was phonics and writing, which, of course, is Sail Away. She recently wrote a note to her grandmother in cursive and told her that she would teach her cursive if she would come over one day. What a blessing!" --D. McDaniel
