Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a student who wanted to drop out of school. He wouldn’t come and when he did he was resistant the entire time. Over time, we built a bond and he learned to trust me. He knew I was sincere and truly cared. I helped him see the beauty in everyday and what learning even the simplest things can do for him.i was privileged with seeing him walk across the stage on graduation day.
What would you do with the $25,000?With increase in student enrollment I would help out educators with equipping them with some resources to help engage their students with differentiated tools to use in the classroom.
