Do any of you have good ideas for inservice topics and /or presenters?

My response:
I recently attended the Texas conference on technology for educators.  We
had 2 speakers for general sessions which were the most inspirational that I
have heard in quite some time.  Below is the blurb from the conference
report page.  I highly recommend both speakers--both had me crying as well
as wanting to be the best I could be....

Dr. Lorraine Monroe spoke on 'Leadership Lessons From Inside and Outside the
Classroom.' Dr. Monroe, Founder and Executive Director of the School
Leadership Academy, was the founding principal of the renowned Frederick
Douglass Academy in Central. With a wry wit and amazing insights, she talked
about her "poke and stroke" philosophy of teaching.

Guy Doud, who was honored by President Ronald Reagan as America's Teacher of
the Year in 1986, also used humor and pathos to champion his "underdog"
sensibilities and encourage educators to see the possibilities in every
student.
