The last of the summer institutes was held in Orlando at the University of Central Florida. What a campus! What a facility! Gordon took this photo of a sculpture at the entrance to the Teaching Academy building.
The participants were so enthusiastic and motivated. Many commented that it was the best professional development experience.
It was with a bit of sadness that we packed up the vans for the final time. All of us were anxious to get home, for sure, but we also had to bid farewell to colleagues and friends we shared the summer with. MDE's et al are an extension of our family.
With that said we can look ahead to a good school year. We'll share our lives through blogs, twitter, facebook, and ichats.
