Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have so many memorable teaching experiences. It’s hard to pick one out. Probably the kids I’ve been able to help. I’ve had kids self harm that I had to get help, kids that I’ve brought back from not being able to graduate, and I’ve even got kids that didn’t think they had a future in education go to college.
What would you do with the $25,000?Honestly, go to a couple teaching seminars that require travel. Continuing education is so important, And the rest probably just buy equipment for my history department so that we can start teaching better classes in better ways.
