Important Messages from Your CERRA team…
Students who are accepted into the Teaching Fellows Program attend one of twelve college/universities across the state. Additionally, Teaching Fellows participate in advanced enrichment programs and receive professional development beyond the education program. This is where you can help! The Campus Directors at the Teaching Fellows Institutions are always looking for outstanding educators who are willing to share their expertise and passion with these future teacher leaders. The Teaching Fellows meetings/professional development sessions are set up to include formal presentations in front of a larger group as well as informal discussions with small groups. If you are willing to present or have a conversation with the Teaching Fellows, please visit https://cerra.wufoo.com/forms/sdcyxw70lt7mi3/. |
