Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I have a love of learning. A book can take you anywhere your mind can imagine!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

About 25 years ago I had student that wanted to opt out of electives and attend my english class. We read books, we wrote poetry, we journaled, we wrote short stories, we played jeopardy! Needless to say the students that participated in these activities passed the NYS English Regent Exam.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would funnel that money back into the title 1 school that I serve. We have a stem program that is 2nd to none! We need instrument's, our step team needs uniforms, our 6th grade class DESERVES a "senior class trip."
