Well, Dr. Tate was very impressive. What really touched me about her presentation was how passionate she is about education and just making sure that every student that we encounter gets the experience of not just a regular student who gets this one size fit all curriculum, but a passionate experience that goes with them for a lifetime. Her story about how she encountered educators who didn’t necessarily go the extra mile really touched me because it was a similar experience that I went through as a child that motivated me to become an educator today. So I really appreciated her stories. I really appreciate the impact that she’s made on our community, and I can’t wait to see what she does more for the future. — Early Career Teacher
