I feel that it is so important to find wonderful women who are role models for leadership
and this cohort is filled with such individuals.
Vee has taken the opportunity to challenge the epidemic of Cyber
Bullying and has shown focused dedication in developing a project that
will change the lives of the young people in her community. Jessica I.
is a shining example of organization, timeliness and attention to detail
and these skills have aided in her creation of an innovative reading
and writing program for her students. Melinda is always willing to jump
right in and incorporate a new tool with the students in her classroom
in a creative and unique way allowing her students to find their own
voice. Karen was nervous about using technology at first, but is no
longer afraid to text what she is feeling and has clearly shared some of
her views with us :-) Carrie joined us only a few months ago, but she
has quickly become Captain Barbosa who is always ready to keep us
updated or reminded of important information. Debbie has taken risks and
implemented incredible lessons that engage her challenging and diverse
audience. Tracy has developed her AR project so as to empower lifelong
learners. Katina created a project that has a direct and immediate
impact on her students' as they search for future employment. Cherylee
demonstrated her resourcefulness when she didn't allow the lack of a
classroom to deter her from designing an after school digital
storytelling program that had a waitlist! Jessica B. has shown that
collaboration is vital to an engaging learning experience and has
encouraged her students to work together. Tamarah has provided clear and
reflective feedback to some of my posts.
I am thankful for the lessons I have learned from each cohort member.
I have only highlighted a few.
I am really looking forward to meeting each of you
and celebrating our many successes as we journeyed through EMDT.
My response:
I'm quite certain that this is the most touching blog post anyone has
written during our months in EMDT. How thoughtful of you to remember
something about everyone in our cohort and include that in your text.
You have forgotten one very important person, however. YOU! Let me add
a few details. I haven't been in your close-knit working group, but
that hasn't stopped you from providing input, sending chapter summaries,
sharing encouragement, and always maintaining a happy disposition in
the midst of insanity! You shared a most special motherhood video
(still my favorite) and opened the door to your very soul. I cannot
wait to meet you as well, when we gather together to celebrate a year of
growth and learning. Thanks, Rebecca, for being such a mentor and
leader in our cohort.
