The highlight of my NCCAT experience was meeting all of the fabulous teachers that make up this year’s Kenan class. A former Kenan Fellow I teach with told me the best part of her fellowship was spending time with all of the other fellows and gaining energy and experience from them. From the beginning I was excited to meet new people and spend time getting to know teachers from all over the state, I was not disappointed. During my week at NCCAT I sat with a different group of people every chance I got and made it a point to talk to as many fellows as I could, hearing about their fellowships, talking about their teaching, and gaining knowledge of their districts and their teaching experiences. The depth of knowledge, the enthusiasm for teaching, and the commitment to their students were the continual themes from everyone I met. I have made many new connections to teachers throughout the state, I am energized by their passion and dedication, and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again in July!
It was great getting to know you more during NCCAT! Emily and I both said we were sad to see your empty cubicle. Good luck on the start of school and we’ll hold things down here at DPI 🙂
I agree… meeting all of the other fellows was the best part of NCCAT!! Can’t wait to reconvene in July!
So glad you enjoyed meeting everyone. NCCAT meant for relationship building. We hope the bonds will continue to grow as the year progresses.

I agree it was awesome getting to know so many wonderful educators. As a first year teacher this was an AMAZING experience! It was enlightening talking to all of you and getting to know one another. I look forward to our next PD.
