Learned • I learned about all the amazing opportunities for growth and to impact the direction education takes as a result of the ISI. • That there is life after your first summer institute! • The people who shared their experiences showed a real appreciation for what they learned. • About all of the opportunities for professional development available for interested teachers.
Learned • That there is a future after WP ISI. • The many roles a TC can play after ISI.
Surprises? Questions? • I did some Google snooping and found Brandy Price’s winning essay from last year. There are no words to describe how inspired and how in awe I am right now. I had no idea—the panel is to thank for the discovery. • How continually amazed I am (even more amazed) at how inspiring you all are. I’m fired up! • I want to know about other professional learning opportunities.
Surprises? Questions? • How participation in the writing project has inspired teachers to become more active in their school sites and beyond.
