Appreciation Time!

I want to thank my wonderful colleagues, Jen Teal, Mike Barry, and Meredith Riggan, for the beautiful journey we have been on together this year!  Empowered Learning, like anything new and uncharted,  has presented struggles and challenges.  But, it has changed my whole outlook on teaching in an overwhelmingly positive way!  I could not have done this without the strength, encouragement, and help of these wonderful people.  I feel so fortunate to continue this journey with them, and I am so pleased that other colleagues are sharing interest in possibly joining us on this path.  I have always believed that the most important aspect of education is building and maintaining relationships with students.  It is equally important to build and maintain relationships with colleagues, as well.  Thank you Jen, Mike, and Meredith, for taking me under your wings and for always being there--through the stressful and discouraging times, the beautiful and enlightening times, and all the moments in between!  Working with all of you this year has been the most exciting time of my career, and I am just so thankful!
