One of my favorite things is connecting with others in education from all aspects of the field. EdCollab is about professional growth and networking.So many times, educators are not allowed to work with others in our field. We could have an amazing teacher right down the hall but may never know it. The time to gather and process each aspect is a gift! I am so honored to get to be a part of cohort 1.”
