Shelton's Teacher Travels to Learn

Shelton School's high school Spanish instructor Adria Ger is the latest faculty member to benefit from the school's professional development grants.  She spent January 16 – 26 in Colorado, where she visited four educational institutions to gain knowledge in foreign language instruction.  She also attended the Courage to Risk conference in Colorado Springs.  The conference is a regional conference that covers the gamut of educational and special education topics.

Ger visited campuses, had meetings with curriculum specialists and administrators, reviewed curriculum, and conducted 13 class observations at The University of Colorado in Boulder (Modified Foreign Language Program), Loveland School District, Denver School District, and Denver Academy, an independent school much akin to Shelton.

Says Adria, “My whirlwind, 11-day educational tour in Colorado was exciting, educational, exhausting and exhilarating. I’m still overwhelmed by the enormity of the experience.  My sincere thanks to Shelton for offering me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” She plans to share her experience with other staff members at an upcoming in-service.  Such opportunities are a win-win-win for the grant recipient, Shelton students, and colleagues.
