Learn MoreI found that I couldn't help myself when it came to giving instruction whether it was how to use a computer program or tutoring my family to help with their classes. Teaching felt so natural.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI once had a student that everyone told me would try her best, but she would fail. I will never forget the absolute joy on face when we received her state test results and she had gone from a 1 to a 4 in one school year.
What would you do with the $25,000?I feel that I have a lot to offer students and I would love to get my master's. I would invest in materials and manipulatives (not just textbooks) that would assist me in helping students feel good about learning math and help to challenge my more advanced students.
