I am excited to begin my Kenan Fellows Program journey THIS summer ~ especially after completing the most challenging school year of my career.
I cannot wait to learn first-hand how Biltmore Farms applies their Five Guiding Tenets to community development in the mountain region where my students and I live. I hope to apply what I learn during my internship to my classroom teaching practice by creating a Project-Based Learning lesson. My primary goal is to guide my students to apply their science content knowledge and process skills to solve a locally relevant, real-world challenge: How can we meet the needs of people in our community while also protecting the natural resources that make our home so special? I also look forward to broadening my impact on other teachers and ultimately on all of our students as I refine my skills as a teacher-leader.
