Cable's Leaders in Learning: In Their Own Words
The deadline for 2009 applications is less than one month away! We
thought it might be helpful for individuals who are considering
applying to hear from a couple of previous LIL winners, so we
recently spoke with RaSheda Workman and Dan Meyer about their
application experience. Listen to their podcast (MP3, 8.2MB) and
remember, the deadline for applying is December 17, 2008 at 12pm
PST!

Jenann Wakefield was recognized for the development of “Parent
Bridge”, a secure web application providing access to parents
without computers in the home to login through computer kiosks in
grocery stores. These kiosks allow parents to access their
children’s information, including posted messages, grades,
assignments, attendance, lunch transactions, standardized test

communicate with their children’s teachers.In her podcast (MP3,

their child’s education, citing a survey that found 80 percent of
parents who use Parent Bridge initiated conversation with their
