Whether they're on the beach, in the classroom, or out exploring the world, these lovely ladies represent inclusive education wherever they go. Check out those super cool green 2Teach Global t-shirts!
A group of six women pose together on a beach in front of large driftwood and a bright blue sky. They are all wearing matching green “2Teach Global” T-shirts and white baseball caps. Dr. Murawski is kneeling in front while the others stand close behind her, smiling and striking fun poses. The photo is framed with a decorative stamp-like border featuring travel-themed icons such as passport stamps and postmarks.

Over the past week, I’ve seen so many former/ forever @UMWCOE students at new teacher PDs. It’s always such a joy to see those grads who are now well seasoned teachers representing organizations and their divisions.
