This year will be different for all educators….. I hope that with the experience I gain from my fellowship, that I will be able to adjust my ways of teaching to incorporate my knew knowledge as well as be able to reach my students virtually or in person. My wish is that my experience with the NC Coastal Federation will ignite a response in myself that I am encouraged to create an environment for my students that will also illicit a response in them that they are able to communicate through their art.
