I am looking forward to introducing theory to practice strategies to the faculty and staff at my new school. Additionally, I will be leading several professional development opportunities - leading off with a comprehensive examination of culturally responsive teaching, including book study opportunities for faculty and staff members!
I am sad to leave my colleagues, my teacher leaders, my residents, my partnership schools (especially my students), and my university role (once a Bull, always a Bull). But I find peace with my new venture and am looking forward to the next phase of my profession. Who knows what future doors will open and how future interactions will impact generations of students? I cannot wait to begin...
