How Has Being a Presenter Impacted Your Own Professional Growth?

Presenters for our elementary and middle school courses introduce teachers to an approach that will help them grow as educators, but our presenters will be the first to tell you that that growth is a two-way street: they get as much out of the experience as the course participants. In this installment of The Presenter’s Point of View, our presenters share some of the ways taking on the presenter role has enriched their own teaching practices.
