Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a girl with a depressive problem. She would have crying fits during class. I studied and found out sounds triggered her, so I put her on a separate assignment managing a zoo and put headphones on her. She had to give me a management update every day. That worked and her crying stopped. She worked hard at her assignment. So, this was in the sixth grade. So, the next year 7th grade she was placed back in my class. S in her 8th grade year. This made a difference for her.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would create a summer program for kids staying at the Jellystone campground I stay at in the summer.
