It\u2019s incredibly difficult to choose ONE highlight of my NCCAT experience. \u00a0Already, this has been the most enriching, meaningful professional development experiences I have had in my short teaching career. \u00a0I\u2019m almost worried that I\u2019ve set the bar too high for future PD! \u00a0I\u2019ll remember that for when I reach the point of my career where I\u2019m creating and delivering PD\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed and learned a lot from our Kenan Fellows EdCamp. \u00a0This was the 3rd EdCamp I\u2019ve attended, and certainly the most riveting. \u00a0I was almost overwhelmed with how many ideas and how much knowledge was being shared – I\u2019m hoping that the notes I took will do the experience justice when I go back through them searching for ideas and inspiration during the school year. \u00a0I\u2019ve never been with a group of such passionate, knowledgeable, talented educators – it was slightly intimidating as a new teacher, and certainly humbling to know that I\u2019m among them. \u00a0My favorite session, and the one that I\u2019m hoping to bring back to my classroom and my school at large was Paul\u2019s session on creating independent learners using BYOD. \u00a0BYOD is a concept that I find intriguing, even more so now that I\u2019ve seen how Paul has implemented it in his classroom not just to have technology for technology\u2019s sake, but to grow independent learners. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The whitewater rafting was another amazing experience for me, personally! \u00a0As someone who (thank you, Myers-Briggs test, for helping me realize this) is an introverted, planning type, experiences like this are not what I\u2019m innately drawn to. \u00a0However, I really challenged myself to be in the spirit of Nike and JUST DO IT! \u00a0I sat in the front of my boat, where I got completely soaked, I ran across the troll bridge, and I even encouraged my boat to do some daring tricks. \u00a0Even if it\u2019s indirectly, this is another experience I\u2019ll be bringing back to my classroom – one that serves as a constant reminder that taking risks can result in awesome outcomes, that my students may see my classroom as a risk as great as I saw the whitewater rapids, and that teamwork really can make the dream work. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
