Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceA student with selective mutism started the school year struggling to whisper a one-word lunch order out loud. She ended the school year standing in front of her peers, reading a few lines from a readers theater script. As soon as she finished, she ran into my arms for a hug. Her proud smile after her accomplishment is ingrained in my memory!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would do a mix of helping my students/school and traveling!
