The relationship has flourished beautifully for both TCA and VWU, and the following project updates are provided by Wendy Scott, Founder and Director of TCA:
- VWU students Zack Burkhart and Hunter Majewski are the first to be selected for the new TCA Fellowship Program. They're teaching at TCA for 10 hours a week under a master teacher mentor, receiving a membership to a teaching organization of their choice, have all expenses covered for a professional development conference, and are involved in developing a teaching portfolio using Portfolium. Hunter is developing and leading meaningful learning experiences in the Lower School, while Zack is facilitating art lessons in both the Lower and Upper School.
- TCA has applied to be a certified Green School by Project Learning Tree with the help of VWU employees Don Coberly, Director of Physical Plant Operations, and Mike Rigby, Assistant Director of Physical Plant Operations, Grounds, and Housekeeping. TCA students spent a year investigating a variety of environmental topics impacting TCA space and then developed, implemented, and reflected on action plans to make a positive environmental impact based on sustainable development goals.
- Three TCA high school students were represented at the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation Agents of Change program recently and were selected based on their character and leadership to learn about being a servant leader in the community through an understanding of historical models. Read more here.
- District 6 History Day FAQ Reception will be held this Friday, October 26, by TCA on VWU's campus. Teachers and administrators from all over Coastal Virginia have been invited to come and learn about History Day.
