Attendance at NCCE conferences and trainings over the years has been an incredibly valuable asset to my teaching practice. It’s not just the skills, resources, and approaches I’ve learned; it’s the people at NCCE I’ve connected with who have helped me grow and improve. Serving on the Board is a way to give back to the organization and the people who have meant so much to me,” stated Pahl.
At-Large Representative
Janet Avery, Jerome School District Curriculum/Professional Development Director, will start a two-year term. “Technology can be a catalyst that transforms learning experiences and connects students with opportunities to discover, inquire, play, and find others with the same passions. NCCE’s vision is to provide innovative professional learning experiences-this is something I strive for always,” said Avery.
At-Large Representative
