Hooray for teacher leaders!!

Hi everyone - so nice to get to talk with many of you yesterday!

I'm Kirstin Milks, a high school science teacher in Indiana, and I'd love to provide information about the Knowles Teacher Initiative (including writing for our journal, Kaleidoscope) as well as PAEMST.

Please let me know if you have any questions -- or just post to say hello! Looking forward to networking so we can all keep learning how to stretch ourselves as leaders. :) Kirstin

There really are a lot of opportunities out there for us to improve our own practice and to continue to grow as STEM teacher leaders!
