Participating in a summer program like this would help me focus my teaching to match some of my students' goals. A possibility I hadn't really considered until now.

It is often tough to find there opportunities so kudos to Raytheon for providing this opportunity. This spotlights shows how valuable it can be for teachers to spend time in this business environment. I found this spotlight extremely interesting and hope there are more opportunities like this for teachers in the future.

It's great to read how much impact a teacher can have on students, such as collaborating and working with them. I have not participated in a similar experience, but hearing about Cassi's internship shows me how much a teacher can learn during those two months in the summer. My ideal summer growth opportunity is volunteer work because there's so many different organizations here in my community that need volunteers and I would love to contribute my time to help them.
