Stay Calm! Be Brave! Wait for the Signs!  is how CBC’s “Dead Dog Café Comedy Hour” regularly signs off. These words of encouragement have helped educator, Jenna Willman, follow a path of professional development and personal growth. Stay Calm – it’s overwhelming. Be Brave – don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Wait for the Signs – take every opportunity you can. During this session, participants will learn about Jenna’s journey, some of the lessons and resources she uses in her own classroom, and encouragement to start on their own path.
