KCCC's Early Childhood Education juniors recently attended the Educators Rising State Conference at Capital University. Students got to hear from the 2024 Ohio Teacher of the Year and from the Keynote Speaker, Miss Dorina Sackman (2014 Florida Teacher of the Year and Top 4 finalist for National Teacher of the Year). Students also got to attend breakout sessions on topics of interest within the field of education and attend a college fair. It was an amazing day exploring the career field of education!
