Igniting Your Personal and Professional Growth

Describe one or two, specific learning experiences from your fellowship. In words, show us this experience and explain why it was powerful.

It was an awesome experience being around administrators and coordinators that have been doing it for awhile. It made me excited for all the learning I still have in my new position.

What did you learn about yourself? What did you learn professionally?

I am still growing even after 18 years of teaching. I am truly a long life learner and I love it!

What were some unplanned or unexpected experiences or outcomes of your fellowship? Or, how did the fellowship you crafted differ from the actual learning experience?

Our group went to different conferences based on the teacher level so we didnt get to experience the same thing but it sounds like everyone had some growth due to PBL works

Impacting Your Classroom, School and Community

Outline specific plans you have to implement your fellowship and reach your student goals.

We started implementing a coaching protocol that we learned there. This should help teachers in giving students the support they need.

What is one way you can leverage your fellowship to create one authentic learning experience for students? (e.g. hands-on learning, projects, community engagement)

We can show students certain protocols that they can use themselves as they are collaborating.

How, specifically, will your fellowship extend beyond your classroom? (e.g. families, school-at-large, afterschool groups, surrounding community, colleagues, etc.)

I will continue to grow as a coordinators with other PD that becomes available.
