Our future educators had a great time at the NIU future educators conference this week! So great to see so many students who want to be the next teachers. Thanks @VALEES1 and NIU for giving kids the opportunity to attend!

What an awesome first day of our student observations- it was great to see our future teachers in action learning from so many of the exceptional educators around our district!! #GoBulldogs#WeAreOne#LearningTodayToTeachTomorrow

A couple more great opportunities for our students learning from leaders within our district! #AlwaysLearningAlwaysGrowing

We had a great start to our school year with having a teacher panel come in to talk to our future educators - It was a great way to cap off our theme of the week, “Why Teach?”
