With another four courses behind her, the teacher was astounded by just how much she had grown since she first began her travels. As the final leg of her journey awaited her just beyond the next ridge, she reflected upon the many ways in which she had been changed by her experiences. Despite having some distance yet to travel, the teacher now felt a comfort and confidence that she had not previously felt. In fact, she felt ready to face any of the challenges that still lay before her both in her MET journey and in her own classroom. The teacher realized that she was already armed with the knowledge and tools necessary to initiate real change in her teaching practices. Her knowledge was deeper and her understanding greater because she had taken such an active role in her own learning. With the light drawing near at the end of the tunnel, she confidently strode forward, more ready than ever to take the final steps of her journey.
