This is where I’m supposed to be. PEBC was a tremendous stepping stone. I needed them to be there. Their support hurtled me forward a little faster, and really helped me leap into teaching, a career I love.

It was such an amazing experience. We had this community to depend upon and rely on. I still speak to many of them all the time. We were connected from the start. PEBC has been this amazing door and amazing opportunity and really gave me this dynamic career. I am very grateful.

Visiting classes during lessons is also fun and helps us become better teachers. These visits let us learn from other teachers and find good ways to teach. This way, we can become better teachers and feel more confident in the classroom.
