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.
