This was the most authentic and genuine experience I have ever had in my ECE career. I’m grateful for the opportunity. The passion from the entire Project Act team made such an impact on teaching, leading and exposed my personal biases that I was not aware of. I will continue to work hard and advocate for all children regardless of their ability. Everyone deserves an equitable education. I’m here to make that happen.
