My name is Brooke McLellan & I am a member of Spearfish local chapter for the third year. I teach K-2 Technology and STEM in my district & I love my job! This year was my first experience being a member of the local Negotiations Team and witnessing the process of advocating for my peers on this level. It is by far my favorite part of being a part of this association, because I believe we as teachers need to be a part of that decision-making process in order to be heard and make change.
