How do you see Duke TeachHouse impacting you as an educator?
Duke TeachHouse has provided me with an abundance of opportunities that have supplied me with unique learnings and refined my professional skills. I credit Duke TeachHouse for developing me into the teacher leader that I have aspired to be for so long. My TeachHouse cohort has acted as a strong support system, as I navigated graduate school in addition to internships and life itself.
