Something Learned

My Kenan Fellowship has changed my entire approach to teaching this year. The professional development offered to me this summer has provided an enormous amount of information and resources. The opportunity to collaborate with other teacher has given me confidence to change my teaching style.  I have already begun to incorporate many innovative teaching techniques such as utilizing interactive science notebooks and creating “flipped” classroom lessons.

I am realizing with every lesson I prepare, that I have changed a great deal. My purpose in the classroom is changed; my goal for students is changed, my perception of who I am as a “colleague” is changed.  My time as a Kenan Fellow has given me the tools to become a teacher of excellence and I will always be grateful for such an amazing experience.
