I've been involved in many professional development activities and this is by far the best one I've ever done

Thanks for this amazing opportunity and it has been especially rewarding sharing the experience with my daughter!
I knew that the kids would get a ton out of it, but the connections and opportunities for them is phenomenal. Doing teacher workshops when I’m done will be so much fun. Can’t wait to bring this to the state.
I also really like helping new teachers, let them share what they know fill in gaps, help them feel included and not overwhelmed. I want to do more of this, and need to find ways to direct this more effectively in my school and district.
