D

Think our top priority people, you know putting students first, and you know that you know. Certainly it's a tug-of-war between people and programs, but but certainly we need to do what's right for our teachers to ensure that we maintain our competitiveness in the state so that Anne Arundel County isn't just a training ground for teachers to go elsewhere to other jurisdictions, because when they leave our students are at a disadvantage. So it's very important and we have to keep in mind that it costs more to recruit than it does to retain.

The kids.

At North County don't often get to go out and experience the world, so I thought that I would bring the world to them and bring those immersion experiences to them, since they likely won't be able to go to Germany or go to vald, say and experience them there. Well.

I

Germany is one of the biggest manufacturers and engineering superpowers in the world. So in order to have that connection, you're obviously going to need to speak German and it's.

Whole idea, with doing a field trip to Germantown elementary school, came to me because I thought it would be a great idea to empower the high school students being that they just learned all the postures and the benefits to then see what it's like to be the role of a teacher, and so we created a sequence together and then we have just now completed first grade and we're moving into kindergarten and the kids there.

M

You know they're going to experience the same benefits as any kid which is going to be increased, focus, increased confidence, camaraderie building a relaxation for the daily lesson. So it's really really amazing to see students in action.
