Thoughts from a LEAP Pilot Teacher
“I took the LEAP and I like that my observer saw me in an authentic state of real-life teaching. I truly enjoy the process of being reflective in my practice and I found that having someone in my room, unexpected, is a great way to do this. My involvement gave me the opportunity to share my experience with my observer, be more deliberate in my practice and take away from it some ideas that will help me become a more effective educator.”- DPS Pilot Teacher
