The USC Aiken Teaching Fellows were honored to have Ms. Sarah Gams, the 2020-2021 South Carolina Teacher of the Year, present an interactive workshop on the perils and promises of being a first-year teacher, the importance of collaboration and collegiality, and the difference between intentional and unintentional leadership. Powerful, personal and poignant, Ms. Gams challenged the Fellows to learn the language of education, shift the lens from “me” to “them,” and realize that every day in the classroom is an opportunity to lead. Thank you, Ms. Gams, for sharing your passion and insight with the USC Aiken Fellows!
