Ambassador Training
First Graduating Class of Lewisville ISD
Lewisville ISD recently wrapped up its first cohort of the Friends of Texas Public Schools Ambassador Training Academy. More than 75 Lewisville ISD educators representing every campus and department in the district completed the four-session program.

“You all were awesome!! I looked forward to coming to each session!!! Thank you!”
“Well planned, fun, interesting, and relevant!”
“My experiences in Ambassador Training were eye-opening! I learned so much in a short time and now have much to share about our profession.”
“After a day full of teaching, no matter how much I would have rather gone home, I left every session feeling optimistic and energized!”
“This entire training has inspired me to stand up for myself and all other educators. I have found myself getting so upset about the negative press, but n ever knew how to handle my disappointment. Now you may see my name in the editorial comments!”
“Ambassador Training takes what should be obvious and reminds us that sticking up for our profession and praising our teachers is key to a positive school culture!”
Leslie Milder and her husband are the perfect husband-wife duo. They made this training interesting and informative. Their passion for public schools and teachers is contagious. I’ve left this training armed with tools to contribute to my school, district, and profession. Thanks so much!”
“We are never too old to learn some new tricks! These sessions helped me to refocus and encouraged me to share the great news with others!”
“Thank you – thank you – thank you for being so positive! I loved hearing what you had to share. It’s been a very tough year at my school and I have loved having new positive things to share!”
“This has been a revitalizing program in a time of feeling beat down by our legislature, administration, and media. The fresh outlook this training provides reminds me why I started my job in the first place 13 years ago!”
“Take charge of your PR and lead from the trenches! That’s what Ambassador Training taught me.”
“I have become more aware of the things I say and how I can make a difference with my words. My principal has used some of my suggestions about boosting morale.”
“Ambassador Training gave me practical ideas which I took directly back to my campus and used to improve morale and opinion of Texas public schools.”
“This training mace a difference in the way I viewed teaching. I left every session fired up and ready to share why I love to teach!”
“In our fast-paced lives it is easy to look over and/or take advantage of things we value most. Thank you for giving me pause to reflect and remember why I joined this profession and the importance of always looking for the positive in myself, colleagues, administration, students, and parents. I am inspired!”
“This training really made me aware and reflect on what comes out of my mouth. I am an image of LISD. I love my job, but would come home from a difficult day and find it difficult to find a positive to share with my family. Now I make sure to point out something great every day!”
“The Ambassador Training reminded me of why I became a teacher – to positively influence the lives of students and families. I learned how to sell my profession and be proud and vocal regarding all the wonderful things that are happening in our public schools. I embrace my new challenge of spreading the good word.”
“This was a wonderful experience. I hated for it to end!”
