I have grown newfound confidence that would have taken substantially longer to build without the Kenan Fellows Program. Being surrounded by a group of successful educators who continuously support you and make you feel capable pushes you to take bigger risks in the classroom. I am more willing to challenge my implicit biases after tackling some of them in the safe space that is my cohort. With my confidence, I know I have the ability to help my colleagues reach their dreams in the classroom as well. Being a Kenan has given me a strong, deep network of educators who I know are always here for me and any asks I may have. With all the professional development sessions we’ve had I have taken the time to reflect on my lessons and the way I interact with my students.
