- Emerging Leaders Academy
- I am currently a member of the Emerging Leaders Academy. This program has helped me grow as a professional through professional mentorship opportunities, leading a group to plan events with the sophomore ELA class, and by planning a fundraising event for Camp Grassick.
- You can see more about my experiences in the ELA program here.
- I was also able to observe a Project Based Learning Workshop through the ELA's Professional Mentorship Program. Being able to observe this workshop has increased my knowledge of how to implement PBL's into my future classroom, to promote engagement and hands on learning.
