GVSU Fire Up Conference
Yesterday I was the keynote speaker at GVSU for their Fire Up Conference which is for all West Michigan student teachers. What a great opportunity to share and learn! I spoke to the group of around 450 students in the Field House – telling them a little of my story and then 3 things that they must remember as they go out teaching: 1) have and show your passion 2) perseverance and 3) constant professional growth. My hope is that I touched some of these young people as they go forth and that they will remember these 3 pieces of advice.
I also presented at a session where I taught about using Google Forms in the classroom. My group was so excited about what they learned! I love presenting real practical applications and things that work well for me. That is one of the great things about my job this year – being able to reach beyond my own classroom and school and hopefully give teachers tools to help their students be more successful. How fulfilling!
