The Leader in Me Symposium
Very grateful for the opportunity to attend The Leader in Me Symposium in Spartanburg, South Carolina with my Principal from one of my schools, Carroll LT Magnet Middle, Elizabeth MacWilliams, and three of our wonderful Teachers. We had the opportunity to learn more about how to apply the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens in our school, and both of the schools that I serve are Covey Leadership schools. What impressed me the most was learning more about Habit 8...Finding your Voice. After visiting a Lighthouse School together, touring and hearing the students give amazing speeches in front of hundreds of adults, I was inspired! When I get inspired, I put ideas into practice. So when we returned, I decided to contact Toastmasters, a worldwide organization that teaches the art of Public Speaking to anyone...for free! I found and contacted a local young professional who is willing to come into my schools to help students develop these skills. We will begin with the FBLA Club and Public Speaking is one of our events at our state competition next school year. Very excited to see how our students grow and change and become leaders.

I had the opportunity to share about this experience with my PLT, Professional Learning Team of Career Development Coordinators, like myself, from all over the county.
I am excited to serve as your CDC, Career Development Coordinator at Apex Friendship High and Apex Friendship Middle! As your CDC, I will: 1. Demonstrate Leadership, Advocacy, and Collaboration. 2. Help promote a respectful environment for all students. 3. I will facilitate a comprehensive career development program. 4. I will promote learning for all students. 5. I will actively reflect on my practice & make changes as needed.

World Cafe~
On February 8th I represented Centennial Campus Magnet Middle at Biogen in RTP, for an event jointly sponsored by Wake Ed Partnership to support all of the STEM schools in Wake County. http://www.wakeed.org/programs/world-cafe/ (visit here to learn more!)
Our school was matched with two companies that would like to sponsor some events with our school, both are about Coding. One was CAML Academy in Morrisville, NC, and they offer an after school program that teaches students about coding. They would like to offer an Event for free for our students and parents, one evening for 20 students for the first hour, and 20 students the second hour that is sure to be beneficial for all! More can be found on this company at http://www.camlacademy.com/
The second company was Trinkets... https://trinket.io/our-story An amazing company that has a unique product. The Software Engineers are offering to teach 8 of our interested Teachers more about coding, using their software, feed us, and then join us as a team to then train any Teacher at our school interested in staying after school one day to learn how to use coding in ANY subject. Again, this is a complimentary training and we look forward to this unique opportunity!
