Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceOne of my most memorable teaching moments was when a struggling student finally grasped a concept they had been working on for weeks. Their face lit up with excitement, and they confidently explained it to a classmate. Seeing that growth and self-belief was an unforgettable reminder of why I love teaching.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I won $25,000 as a teacher, I would invest in my students and classroom. I’d also fund hands-on experiences like field trips and projects. Lastly, I’d use some for professional development to continue growing as an educator.
