My name is Cecelia Monto and I serve as Vice President of NACCTEP. My participation with the organization has connected me with resources and new information that I have used to strengthen my Teacher ED program. I have benefitted from learning about effective transfer agreements across the United States, and info sessions on topics like socio-emotional learning and adapting to the pandemic. I am aware the Teacher Education is rapidly changing and I look forward to more information that can enhance my program. I am especially interested in the annual conference in February because new teacher apprenticeships and post-bacc models will be discussed- areas of interest in my state. I also enjoy the network of colleagues and spirited discussions. In my role as a community college dean of not only Education, but Languages and Social Sciences too, the information I have gained with NACCTEP has been relevant and timely in these areas of my work also. I look forward to meeting up with colleagues online and at the next conference in sunny Phoenix!
I am excited welcome you all to the NACCTEP Now Blog! My name is Julie Ferin, and I am thrilled to serve as the Executive Director of NACCTEP. A little about myself, for as long as I can remember I have always wanted to be a teacher and attending community college after high school was the first step toward this goal. I had a wonderful community college experience with inspiring teachers who believed in me every step of the way. If someone would have told me that my career would be working in teacher education at a community college, I would have thought that is the perfect fit for me! I am fortunate to have the opportunity to inspire students in reaching their goals. My experience as a classroom teacher guides me everyday as I work with those who dream of being a teacher, current educators who seek professional development as well as those who want to give back to the classroom after a career in teaching. I feel strongly that providing resources and opportunities that are useful to current and future classroom teachers as well as sharing tools to effectively mentor, coach and evaluate k-12 teachers may be one way to garner more members as well as positively influence the future of such a rewarding profession.
As a member of NACCTEP it is very important that we are offering the resources and services that are helpful to you in your role. If you don't see what you need, please reach out to me at julie.ferin@riosalado.edu or nacctep@riosalado.edu 480-517-8074. I look forward to getting to know you!
