I found Marsha Pincus's presentation inspiratioanal as a teacher. I appreciated that as a teacher she demonstrates that the classroom teacher is not just an entry level position. You can become a teacher leader through the classroom. As a teacher I have felt I need to decide what the next step of my carrer is going to be. I have felt the presure to consider graduate programs and can not decide which one I would like. I feel it needs to be able to put me into another type of position with in the district, outside the classroom. After this presentation I have realized that I do not want a position that takes me outside the classroom and that I can advance my carrer as a teacher inside the classroom and I have so many places that I can go with that.

I really liked Marsha's presentation too, and I found the image of "the circle of inquiry" really helpful. I understood it conceptually, but there was something crystalizing about seeing the image.
