"Those first few weeks or months were exhilarating." 💥💥

LDP alum Eliza Kramer recently shared her reflections of doing the program during one of our Q+A webinars - including how she felt standing in front of a classroom for the first time.

“You can’t win teaching,” she said. “It’s really important to have balance and something that fills your cup.”

Throughout the webinar, Alumni discussed:

- what the first months in the classroom are really like
- balancing university study with teaching responsibilities
- mentorship and support throughout the program
- working in regional and low-SES school communities
- how to prepare before entering the classroom
- what kinds of people thrive in the program

One message came through consistently: no one feels fully prepared at the beginning -- but support, adaptability and connection matter.
