If selected as a scholarship recipient, you will be expected to participate in the Inter-American Teacher Education Network (ITEN) - UWI STREAM Virtual Community (VC) of Practice, for which you will receive a certificate from the OAS for 30 hours of participation during the fall 2020 semester. This VC will introduce you to ways to incorporate STREAM (science, technology, research, engineering, arts, and mathematics) into teaching young children.

Considering the above, describe how you hope to take advantage of the ITEN-UWI VC and the certificate program to become (or continue to grow as) a change-maker for your students, your community, and your fellow teachers.
