Dave and I successfully rocked another season of NCCAT (North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching). It was an awesome week with 20 teachers from all over the state of North Carolina. Some were already familiar with the visual journal, and some were not. All participants gelled very quickly with each other and with the journal.
A real highlight of the week was the chance to meet author Patti Digh. A year ago, Dave and I were introduced to her book Life is a Verb, and we had the chance to hear her read passages from her book. The premise of the book is simple: If you had 37 days to live, how would you be living those 37 days, and why are you not living that way now? Life is a Verb is full of stories, advice, and activities to lead a richer life. We were honored to have her stop by our seminar room and check out what we were doing. She even included us on her blog. Thanks for the shout out. I highly recommend Patti's book if you are looking to live a higher quality life.

Mr. Scott!! I'm not sure you'd remember me, but my name is Michael Mitchell. I was a student of yours in 2004 and 2005 at SBHS. I've got one more semester of college left and even though I'm not an art major or anything I still love to draw/sketch/paint whenever I can because of you. I remember the good ole' visual journal you always toted around. You're a great teacher. Take Care and thanks!
