Meet our Staff! Target 2009 Iditarod Teacher on the Trail, Cathy Walters

North Carolina Pre-K teacher, Cathy Walters has been selected as the Target® 2009 Iditarod Teacher on the Trail™ and will begin her official duties in June. Cathy teaches at the Carolina Day School, Asheville, and also runs a summer Iditarod Camp session as one of the special camp activities for students. From the beginning of the year to the end, and into the summer months, Iditarod has been integrated into her teaching.

Recognizing the importance of teaching with a multiple intelligence approach, conducting hands on learning activities, and encouraging movement and song, are strategies Cathy uses with her students. Cathy will be placing her teaching ideas on the For Teachers section of the website beginning this fall, helping teachers to connect the race in K – 12 classrooms around the world.

At the Summer Boot Camp for Educators, Cathy will be one of our staff members, helping to facilitate our conference. You'll gain a glimpse of Cathy's goals and plans for her year as Target 2009 Iditarod Teacher on the Trail. Meeting Cathy will provide you with the opportunity to make connections with her projects and inspire you to develop your own.
