Fayette County was well represented at
this year's Region 5 STLP Conference.
Fayette County was wonderfully represented at the Region 5
STLP Conference held December 11, 2002 at Georgetown College in
Georgetown, KY. Sixteen schools took students to the conference to
participate in many different ways. Some groups were there as observers to
learn, while others participated in the competitive categories. Numerous
other Fayette Co. schools sent their STLP Coordinator to attend so they
could receive first hand experience with the conference, get ideas to take
back to their schools, and make plans for attending next year's
conference.
Schools that took students to the conference were: Arlington, Garden
Springs, Julius Marks, Mary Todd, Maxwell, Picadome, Beaumont, Bryan
Station Middle School, Jessie Clark, Leestown, LTMS, Winburn, Eastside,
Henry Clay, P. L. Dunbar, and Tates Creek.
Competitive categories
Conference Associates - Individual students from these schools completed
specific tasks to support the conference. Students assisted by supporting
the team that organized the conference, helping judges with needed
materials, and delivered needed materials from one location to another.
These students were competing to become a conference associate for the
Kentucky Teaching and Learning Conference (KTLC) in March, 2003 in
Louisville, KY.

Cyber-Reporters - Individual students from these schools served as
reporters for the conference. They are called "cyber-reporters" because
instead of publishing a newspaper, they created web pages with articles,
digital pictures and more on site. Their work will soon be posted on KDE's
STLP webpage. These students were competing to become a cyber-reporter for
KTLC as well.
