I experienced so many great opportunities this week, it is difficult to choose one!

But, if I have to…

My highlight was the professional development in and of itself. This experience was like none other. Everyday was jam packed with useful tips and tools for use in the classroom. Sure, we were tired at the end of the long day, but it was a “good” tired, a productive tired. Somehow, even with everything that happened each day, there was a good balance. I never felt overwhelmed. I never felt it was too much.

I feel refreshed and renewed. I have excellent notes, recordings, and wonderful shared posts of information I know I will use in my internship, as well as my classroom.

What a super start to a terrific experience!

So many things.

In just the first 24 hours, I’ve learned lots of fresh ways to “skin a cat.”

All of the fellows have been welcoming and encouraging.  They’ve willingly shared super cool tips and tricks on topics ranging from engaging students to additional fellowships that extend the Kenan Fellows experience.

My hope is by the end of my fellowship, I will emerge a refreshed, and better equipped educator who will inspire my students to excellence.

After almost 14 years, I’ve finally made it to NCCAT. And, I’m here with a great group of Kenan Fellows! We are having so much fun networking, learning about each other’s projects, and learning how to be better educators.

I’m excited to be on this journey with all these talented folks, and I couldn’t have picked a better group to experience NCCAT for the first time. I look forward to saying at least a quick hello to the rest of the fellows.

So.Much.Fun.
