Having completed all three KFP Professional Development Institutes, what does this experience mean to you?
What does the “Kenan Experience” mean to me?
It means a shot in the arm. The shot includes inspiration, fresh air, excitement and energy.
It means a push to stay on top of your game. It comes from the coach who won’t let you stop running whether it is half-time, pre-game or post-game.
It means a grandfather’s support; the kind of grandfather who is proud of who you are but who wants you to be better; the kind of grandfather who can bankroll a trip overseas for you to learn more about the world because your family could never provide you with such; the kind of grandfather who stands up for you and your profession when legislators in our state don’t seem to believe in us.
It means a candy store of goodies where you really can’t eat just one; where the candy is professional development and new trends; where the candy is a free and given just because someone believes in us.
It means fresh air.
It means new people that are kind and wise that I can look up to and learn from.
What have the Kenan Professional Development Institutes meant to me?
The world.
A shinier, newer teacher toolbox.
A window to new dimensions.
An adrenaline rush when new thoughts, ideas, perspectives and approaches hit you all at once.
