I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate in what I call a 'teaching utopia' for the past thirteen years. Elementary students from across the province are chosen and come together to participate in a week-long course that develops their leadership skills and potential. How lucky am I to work with the 'best of the best' future leaders as well as some of the most amazing and inspiring teachers from all around Ontario? I learn SO very much from them all and come back to the classroom feeling motivated, recharged and rejuvenated. Despite the lack of sleep and chaos that ensues in order to prepare to leave 'real life' at work and home for over a week, it is 1000% worth it and I hope to continue to pay forward this opportunity to future students.
If this week is any indication of our future....I wholeheartedly believe that we will be in good hands.
