Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience so far has been any time I see a "light bulb" go off when a student finally figures something out. I like to call these "ah-ha!" moments when the concept we have been studying for the unit finally clicks and the student learns something. There is nothing quite like it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to start a college fund for my son.
