"I really believe the most helpful were the guest speakers. As a beginning teacher, I’d like to know and feel I am important and am on the right track coming into teaching. Seeing everyone together and listening to inspiring stories was very helpful in preparing myself for my students. Overall I’d like to say thank you for this experience!! "
