There is a saying about not being able to fill others' cup if your own is empty, and mine was beyond empty. To me summer is about self care; it's all about ME. How could I fill my own cup? I was honored to be a Coach for the Intermediate Low Cohort at iFLT in St. Petersburg, Florida. Carol Gaab, Teri Weichert, and Michelle Kindt put on a SPECTACULAR conference! In addition to working with awesome people in my cohort, I humbly served along side Gary DiBianca, Janet Holzer, Darcy Pippins, and Skip Crosby. |
I cannot begin to express how the positivity and fellowship of like-minded educators truly filled my cup! When I looked around the room at our training with Paul Sandrock of ACTFL, my good friend, Michelle Kindt, and I realized that we were surrounded by the Acquisition Driven Instruction Dream Team. (Yes, I was a total fan girl!) Not everyone gets joy from talking Second Language Acquisition over lunch, dinner, or drinks. It's comforting when other people "get it". |
