EPIC Campus

EPIC Future Educator pathway Teacher Cadets engaged with panelists today that represented the teaching profession. Panelists were teachers who are just starting out, instructors with alternative licenses, veteran educators, and administrators. The panelists answered the following questions:
What’s made you stay in education?
What excites you about teaching?
What do you wish you could change about the education profession?
What innovations (technology, policies, pedagogy) have most transformed your teaching?
What did you wish you understood about teaching before your first year?
What early supports made the biggest difference for you?
What advice would you give new teachers?
What skills do you think the next generation of teachers must have that weren’t essential before?
Panelists were asked for a one word take away at the end: inspiring, supported, hope, learner
