career change

It is official, I have been accepted into Denver Teaching Fellows as a Bilingual Elementary Ed teacher in the Denver Public Schools.  I am soooo excited!  This has been something that I have been passionate about pursuing over this past year.  Denver Teaching Fellows is a program specifically designed to train teachers to be effective at closing the achievement gap in high-needs schools in the Denver Public Schools, and the relentless pursuit of academic achievement for all students.  It begins with a summer Training Institute of six weeks starting June 5 - July 14.  Then I am placed into a high-needs school and start teaching full-time on my own this fall!  I will be teaching a Bilingual elementary class which means that all my students will be native Spanish-speaking kiddos.  I feel incredibly blessed by God to have been selected 1 of 50 for this program.  I am astounded at His love to grant me such a gift.  I can't wait to teach these little minds.  I want to make a difference in their lives and hearts and give them the tools to be successful in whatever they pursue.
