Jennifer Sather

I love teaching because I get to see how much my students grow throughout the school year and how much they have learned from me.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I was first a Special Education Aide at an Elementary school. I loved it. The teachers there suggested that I get a teaching degree because I work so well with kids. So I did. I got a Bachelor of Science degree in education and with a Special Education K-12 degree as well.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When working with Special Education kids, I loved it when they finally learned a concept I was teaching either in reading or math. It was the most satisfying feeling to have as an Aide as well as a teacher.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my bills and then buy updated materials and teaching supplies for my classroom.
