Hope Grauberger

I love teaching because as an ECSE teacher I get to teach functional life skills to my students and celebrate any growth they make.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I come from a family of educators who inspired me to follow on that path. I have also always loved working with young children. I love getting to work with young children with diverse needs and teach them how to build relationships with each other.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

A lot of my students are still learning how to communicate. This can take many forms (sign language, AAC device, touching a visual, verbal words, etc.) and any time one of them communicates something for the first time or something new to me it always sticks out in my mind as a happy memory.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won $25,000 I would use it to first help pay off my car and then I would use what is left and put it towards getting my master’s degree and materials for my classroom.
