The St Mary's program has helped me develop my educational community with the AGAPE themes in mind. It was started with being mindful of the different Associations that have with the current people in our profession and my school community. I have grown in my education profession from the different aspects that were talked about in the program. Some of the topics were eye opening to see how I may need to Adapt new ideas and procedures in my class.
My own area of interest that I wanted to grow in was researched by finding articles and written in a literature of review. I have adapted those thoughts in my classroom and have collected data to see how I need to change my Engagement with my class. I have engaged my colleagues with the results and hope to challenge them in their professional career to grow themselves.
I see how I can Engage more people from outside of our school for students to see how the skills they are learning is applied to the world around them. It could be recruiting professionals to come and speak to my class. Our school has made the connections with other cultures from our study abroad program and teacher exchange programs.
