The FTA Leadership Board launched a new year this morning meeting at the new Reedy Laurel Elementary School. We enjoyed breakfast with members of the GCSD Teacher Forum Leadership Council. This year, we will begin a partnership program called "Teachers 4 Today and Tomorrow" where future teacher leaders will be paired with a teacher leader of today for encouragement, mentorship and fun activities throughout the year.
So thankful for Taylor McLeer, Joey Muolo & Catherine Shumacher and the team from Public Education Partners for their support.
We look forward to a great year supporting future educators and the current teachers that mentor and shape their journey.
We read the book "Ish" by Peter Reynolds and participated in arts & crafts and "get to know you" activities.
Patty Fox, Coordinator of Evaluation and Professional Development for Greenville County Schools led an interactive and very informative workshop revolving around the future educators Clifton Strength's Test results.
We will complete the workshop at our Oct 2 meeting.
We shared a delicious lunch from Chick-Fil-A and Matt Critell, principal at Reedy Laurel Elementary offered some words of wisdom, advice and encouragement for our future teachers.
We closed the day with committe work. The Teacher Advocacy Committee and the Service Project Committee mapped out a plan for the year. We are so excited for what is to come!
See you at our next gathering - Sep 4 at the iTeach Conference
