Tyler Wood

I love teaching all because of the students. It is never a dull moment teaching, as it keeps you on your toes, which is the best.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher, because of all the teachers in my life growing up. When I looked back to see who influenced me the most all I could think of was my teachers. So I wanted to do something just like they did and be the building block to someone’s greatness.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The most memorable teaching moment in my career so far would have to be when the light bulb moment of my students happen. This to me is what is the most memorable as it tells you that your doing something worth while and the students are really listening and want to learn from you.

What would you do with the $25,000?

First I would have to buy something amazing for my students. Then I would have to use some of the money to finally finish the bathroom project we have been saving up for.
