I really enjoyed meeting other corps members and starting to learn strategies we can use in the classroom this year.

Balancing all of the asynchronous work

The biggest growth I've identified within me is how I am able to articulate solutions that promote equity with greater confidence.

I have grown so much in just these 4 weeks I feel that I have learned many tools that will be useful this fall to be a better teacher.

I loved meeting my fellow corps members. My pod was great, (as is my homeroom!) and I learned a lot from the DEI synchronous work and science of reading asynchronous work.

Building relationships with other CMs

2020-07-07 19:47:24 UTC

I am now not afraid to speak out and express myself. I still have so much more to learn but am proud of the progress I have made thus far.

Balancing everything that was required and also be able to self care

Im most excited to find out where and what grade I am teaching and meeting my students! Also finding out what school will look like this year (virtual, in -person, a mix) so I can prepare better....

I have mixed feelings about VSTT. I am grateful for the opportunity, but feel as though there could be some tweaks

Balancing the work with self care.

Content to pedagogy with Daphne was amazing I feel I am taking a lot for that learning experience.

2020-07-07 19:48:54 UTC

I have continued to learn about my assumptions, and how patience is key.

I have grown in terms of the amazing people I have met during this time and got a chance to learn about their experiences.

how is TFA preparing us to re-enter the classroom this fall considering all the external components.

Noticing how much I grew from the experience, and making community. I really value the people I have been able to meet because of VSTT <3

I enjoyed meeting new people and having thoughtful conversations.
