I get to help build a space where kids know they can find safe adults who respect them and are there to help them grow into good people who are empathetic, informed leaders.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMiddle school math intervention teacher new to the school, nervously being observed by the principal. At some point during the lesson, a tougher student asked for clarification for his group. After we helped get his group on the path, he made a totally relevant math joke that had his peers, me, and the principal laughing out loud. I don’t remember the joke now, but it was so quick, smart, and deeply funny, we shared the most happy moment of learning- all kids deserve that joy at school.
