I hope that my experience as a Kenan Fellows  is one about learning and increasing student engagement in learning.This past year at Apex High School there was a big push to assess how engaged students were with the content that was being taught. Therefore I am also looking to find new and creative ways to help engage students into learning science. I also hope to network with other teachers around North Carolina and be able to network with them. I am very interested to hear what other educators are using in their classrooms.

Not only am I hoping to learn a lot of new things to put into my teacher tool bag, but I am also hoping that by completing this fellowship it will allow new doors to open my horizons for more exciting things to happen in my career.

The picture above is a good representation of what I hope to gain from my experience as a Kenan Fellows. Finding new resources to use in the classroom, time to reflect on the resources and new knowledge gained, and then build the curriculum surrounding the new information that’s been processed.
