1. On the road

On Tuesday, September 25, State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster was in Milwaukee to address the annual meeting of Junior Achievement of Wisconsin. Junior Achievement seeks to educate and inspire young people to succeed in a global economy. Junior Achievement operates throughout the U.S. and in nearly 100 countries around the world. Burmaster's speech highlighted recent and ongoing efforts to instill financial literacy in Wisconsin students, including the DPI's Model Academic Standards for Personal and Financial Literacy, the first such standards in the nation.

On Friday, September 28, the State Superintendent delivered the welcome address at Connections 2007, the Wisconsin Early Childhood Education and Care Conference in Wausau. In her speech, Burmaster told assembled early childhood educators that quality early childhood practices "are the real foundation that our youngest children need" to help them raise their achievement as older students.
