“In the summer of 2011, my professional development grant took me to China. I created a series of lessons about ancient and modern China that I use in my 6th and 7th grade Social Studies classes. It was during that process of curriculum development that I discovered the pedagogical frameworks of global education and global competence, and over the next two years I worked to extend Language Arts and Social Studies curriculum to include a global perspective.”
“I went to NYC and trained with Museum Hack, learning irreverent reverent new ways to discuss works of art! I trained with Broadway and improv artists and within the weekend I took a group through the MET and showed them my take on Madam X! The absolute BEST professional development. I also later was asked by The O’Keeffe Museum to help Museum Hack. I gave a wild workshop to the docents at OKeeffe Museum that summer on the techniques. Our passions being supported is life-changing and confirming.”
“I was fortunate to take a class in Marine Ecology and studied endemic species in the Galápagos Islands for a month. It was a truly life-changing experience. I returned to my classroom with renewed enthusiasm and taught about my experiences every year. Lucky me!”
