Teacher

It was the second time for me to attend the STARTALK teacher program in the University of Virginia. The program was exceptionally enjoyable and informative because it was an extremely rewarding experience that had allowed me to utilize new technology tools to teach online which I had never done before. Teachers in this program were from all over the country and have diverse backgrounds. This opportunity allowed me to observe and to learn from all the different attributes each teacher contributed. We also strengthened our relationship through our successful teamwork.

I have grown mentally, personally and professionally through Virginia Teacher STARTALK 2017. In a very short amount of time, I built great relationships with every program participant teacher and leading teachers. We had positive group experiences breaking 10-day-online-instruction into parts and steps, refining logical details through discussion and explanation.

It was a pleasure to be part of 2017 UVa STARTALK Program. Though the program was quite intense, every minute was well invested. It was definitely a “no pain, no gain” journey. I felt very privileged to work closely with a group of highly motivated teachers who share the same passion with me - want to be a better teacher. In retrospect, I found the “feedback session” after each lesson the most beneficial. The honest and constructive feedback I received really made me ponder and then reflect, therefore I can be on the way for the improvement.
