I became a teacher to not just teach students but to inspire them. To create a fun environment where learning happens naturally and goes beyond the curriculum!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceIn 2020-21 we had ability grouped and I was teaching the struggling students and was able to meet them right where they were. We got outside, made special crafts and snacks, and learning along side them was so much FUN! We became such a close group that I ended up adopting one of the little girls and her two siblings two years later.
