Session 2
Teaching: It's not a job, it's a mission!
We invite you to join four teachers with over 75 years of experience who will inspire you to explore a future in the field of education . As a learner, we were all inspired by a teacher who showed true compassion and changed us as an individual. Using that inspirational teacher we begin to wonder if we have that desire to teach within us. This session will allow you to explore whether you want to become that kind and compassionate guide for future generations. These experts from all levels of teaching K-12 will provide an overview of what to expect in the ever changing field of education. The session will provide an interactive experience that allows the audience to delve into the world of education.
