Madison STEAM Academy receives nationally recognized support from Get Your Teach On

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Madison STEAM Academy was one of 12 schools in Indiana, out of over 100 applicants, to be selected for professional development from Get Your Teach On.

Teachers were given one on one training from Get Your Teach On, an organization led by nationally recognized educators Hope and Wade King.

Hope's offered expertise to teachers in small groups, whereas, Wade was in the classroom setting, with students, showing tips in real time. 

Together, they taught high energy teaching strategies, student attention getters and inspirational training to empower teachers. 

For Wade, he wants teachers to be able to tap into what their passionate about and to be authentically themselves. 

He wants to provide them the resources to better manage their classrooms and to reach their students in engaging lessons. 

"It's important that students are heard," he said. "it's important that students are seen and oftentimes, teachers [...] get stuck in the process of just showing up at school and being a teacher. We want to make sure that we encourage teachers to be able to see their students hear their students and give them a voice."
