I found the first day of the Summer Institute very informative. It was great to meet with like-minded educators, who seek to further develop in leadership in the classroom, school, and community. As a fairly new teacher, with only two years under my belt, I loved the collaboration aspects of the Institute. It was great to hear from fellow educators that have different backgrounds and expertise. I look forward to participating in many more collaborative sessions and learning new instructional techniques that can only help me to improve not only as an educator, but as an individual.
