What It Means to be "Vanguard"
When we describe to others what it means to be on the Vanguard Team, we tell them that we are working to "build the capacity of FCS educators and leaders to provide innovative instruction which meets the needs, skills and interests of all students." But, what does vanguard actually mean?
According to Dictionary.com, vanguard is defined as:
- the foremost division or the front part of an army; advance guard; van.
- the forefront in any movement, field, activity, or the like.
- the leaders of any intellectual or political movement.
If you think about it, that's really what we are. We're on the forefront for instructional technology and personalized learning. In our respective locations, we serve as intellectual leaders working to improve learning for the teachers and students around us.
And so, when it comes to professional development, why shouldn't we continue to "be vanguard", think outside the box, and learn in a new and different way?
We hope you get something meaningful out of this experience that encourages you to continue with the already amazing work that you're doing every day.
