Terrapin Teachers hosted a dinner on May 16, 2018, to celebrate our first graduating class.  As part of the dinner, the Terrapin Teachers staff started a conversation to elicit ideas from our graduates regarding ways in which the program can stay in touch with them and provide support during their induction year.  As the evening progressed, students shared stories about their internship experiences, some of the funniest moments they've had in the classroom, and their plans for the upcoming academic year.
