FEEDBACK FROM SPEAK 2011 ATTENDEES


This was the best conference I have ever been to. It was entertaining and informative at the same time.

Philip Bader Hopkinsville High School Debate/Speech Team Coach

Seeing so many people truly excited about speaking and listening was invigorating because communication skills are what kids need to be ready for the next generation of learning.

Renee Boss, Kentucky Department of Education

Bravo and Hats Off for Speak 2011!!!! Will surely build more sound speech educators and coaches across our state!!!!

Kellie D. Crump - Rowan County Middle School, Morehead, KY

SPEAK 2011 was a wonderful opportunity for Kentucky schools to look into building on how to incorporate the speaking and listening parts of the Common Core Standards into the classroom.

Michael Robinson Calloway County High School

SPEAK helped us realize that even though we may represent different teams, we're ultimately in it to help kids and therefore should be there for one another.

Betsy Smith, KESDA Director

I thought it was amazing to be involved in an educational project with like-minded people who really want to see kids succeed.

Michelle Stacy, Speech Coach, Knott County Central High School

I am really pleased to find myself working with dedicated professional coaches and teachers. That dedication is the foundation of our future success as a Commonwealth and a League.

William Cooper, Executive Director of KHSSL

Even though I've been coaching for 5 years, I learned so much at SPEAK and enjoyed the opportunity to connect with other coaches in the non-competitive atmosphere. I wish I could have attended something like this the first year I started coaching.

Christy Medlock, Warren East High School, Bowling Green

A spoke is but one support of the wheel. SPEAK makes the wheel complete by providing the much needed solidarity. United we can make the Kentucky League strong.

Gary Allender, Bardstown High School.

It was a great opportunity to network and help to continue building the speech community in Kentucky and moving it in a POSITIVE direction.

Katy Cecil, KCFL Moderator LaRue County HS Speech Coach

The day was fast-paced and information-filled.
