Congratulations on 20 years and for becoming an advisor/mentor, you’re doing amazing work! 🎉❤

Congratulations!!! Just based on how you talk to us through these videos I know that you will be an amazing mentor. I worked in after school programs thinking I wanted to teach, and I felt alone and unsure. I know if I'd had a great mentor, I would have stuck with it. Excited to hear whatever updates you can as you go. 🎉🎉🎉 I also have the same driving anxiety. If I don't like the route or the parking situation, I'm out!😂 Enjoy your amazing new adventure

🎉Congratulations!🎉 The program is much needed! Everywhere.

Congratulations!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🎉🥳 I know you will bless your teacher mentees the same way you've blessed your students! 🫶🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Congratulations! I am so glad to see you rewarded for all of the tireless and selfless work that you have done on behalf of our kids. This is so well deserved. ❤

CONGRATULATIONS!!! BRAVO! I'm so happy for you. I totally understand what you are saying and this is a great move for you. It's exciting and new and you have a LOT to offer. I think you will be so happy in this new role. Celebrate!

Cara, this is amazing. You're clearly such a dedicated educator, and you're going to be a fantastic resource for new teachers! Congratulations!!

Congrats Cara! What an achievement to be proud of. I’m in a book club with retired teachers and they have the most wisdom and intelligence I have ever witnessed. I am the only younger one and cherish every moment with my newfound friends. Happy to hear that your driving anxiety has not given you problems as well. Celebrate and take the WIN for change in a positive direction filled with excitement, fear and the incredible fulfillment you will encounter.

Congratulations!!!!! Next year will be my 4th year, so I still consider myself as a new teacher. I always love to see teachers getting support. After my first year, I felt like any support I get was from me culturing relationships with veteran teachers, and not from the school planning to give support to new teachers.

Congratulations…..without a doubt you are going to be an amazing Mentor 👏👏👏👏👏

Congratulations on your teaching career and now becoming a mentor!! 😊💚

I was in the middle of watching on my tv and had to stop, grab my phone and comment. Congratulations Cara!! I'm so happy for you!! You will do great things in this space. So inspiring! ✨️ 💛

Awesome news! I’m not surprised, I’m pretty much convinced you’re one of the top teachers in the WHOLE EARTH!🌍 hugs 🧡

I’m sooo thrilled for you! Such fabulous news. I have several teachers in my family here in the UK and it is a very tough profession now… it seems as if they are doing a lot of social work as well as education. With your personality and approach to life, you’re going to be a great mentor!! 🎉🎉🎉

I'm in the middle of watching now, but I had to pause it to leave this comment. Congratuatlions! I am so excited for you! You are going to do an amazing job! BLESSINGS ON BLESSINGS ON BLESSINGS 💜🦩

I love that you’re excited that it’s a new challenge and it won’t be easy! You are so easy to connect with and well spoken and interesting… your passion and high standards come through in your videos! You were tailor made for mentorship! I come from educator parents but I chose a different path and now I consult with and mentor leaders… I think it’s the same gifting … just a different avenue but teaching is sacred to me!!! Necessary and important and urgent! Congratulations! 🥳🎊🥰🙏🏾

That's awesome!!!! Congratulations on the new chapter in your life.❤🎉

Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾! So well deserved!

Omgerd Cara!! Congratulations ❤❤ # Blessed 🙌

Congratulations! Your passion is just coming through the video and can’t help but be happy for you! 😊

Ahhhh! 🎉 Congratulations Cara!

Congratulation, good news today. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats, that is awesome!!!! You’ll be fantastic! My son got hired out of his student teaching and already has 2 informal mentors, one of whom is also his landlord lol. He’s starting his career at a country school, very few major problems there other than $$$, but it’s 2024 and he’ll be making about $35k. I’m glad he can afford to ease in to teaching, in the city we live in, 10% of kids have seen weapons at school, which is prob low, but we’re little house in the prairie vs cities.

Congratulations 🙌🏽 You will be amazing in this new position 💜🙏🏽

Congratulations!!!!!! I’m so excited for you!!!!

Congratulations. I’ve been nursing for 20 years too. And I’ve been I’ve for a year and half on mat leave and I decided to apply to a different area in the hospital. More critical care. I start the new position the first week of July. I’m nervous but excited. I feel like it’s time to pivot also. So excited for you and your new position. Have a great vacation. Say hi to the boys for me. ❤

Ive been teaching for 25 years. It will be 26 in September. Being self contained is a lot but i love seeing how my students excel in different subjects and i like keeping the same kids all day. Congratulations to you 🎉🎉

Congratulations 👏🏾😘

Awww Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉...

Congratulations!

So so happy for you ❤🙏🏽

You are amazing Cara💜💜💖

Congratulations babe❤

Oh my gosh! Were you a part of The New Teacher Project Fellows certification program? If so, I was the Training and Instruction Manager for the Texas Teaching Fellows in the Dallas area from around 2008 to 2012. The Texas Teaching Fellows program was stellar! I helped run our site, oversaw the curriculum and teaching portion of the program for our site, managed and mentored our instructors and observers for the "Fellows" (i.e., new teachers), and helped make certification decisions. I originally earned my teaching certification through The University of Texas at Austin back in the 1990s, and I taught ninth-grade English for six years directly after graduating college. I really could have used the TNTP-TTF program when I was in my first year of teaching because I felt like I had little to no support. And despite going through a semester of student teaching at UT, I had to learn so much on the job. My first year of teaching was the hardest career year of my life, and I was in tears daily . . . and so exhausted! I think people who aren't in education don't understand what teachers go through on a daily basis. I now work remotely with students one-on-one. Congratulations on completing 20 years of teaching and on the mentor position! You will do a wonderful job! I'm excited for you and your new chapter. You have so much to give to others, and those teachers will be lucky to have you as their mentor!💜

I'm so happy for you!

💚

❤❤❤

Congratulations, Cara 🥹💕 There will be so so many kids to benefit from your mentoring their teachers 💖
