Meet Kristin Henry!

I started as the director of Big Brothers Big Sisters School Mentoring program. Now, I am in the classroom and tutoring students of all ages.
Have you attended an unconference before?
Yes, I attended the #ntcamp in Philadelphia this past summer.
If you were to lead a session at edcamp, what would you share? What do you want to learn more about?
I am not sure that I am ready to lead a session, but I love sharing and learning with others. The first three topics that come to mind are classroom management (focusing on the positive), education in urban settings and special education. What I like about an unconference is people suggesting topics that I am unfamiliar with.
