Learn MoreI became a teacher to help and encourage kids to be the best version of themselves. To help students grow not just academically but in all areas of their life. I believe there is value in not just education but the relationships we build. Helping students realize their potential through hard work and perseverance all while knowing they are supported and loved.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a student that was very bright. He received a couple of accommodations but really never used them. He didn’t always put forth his best effort nor turn in his papers. He was also a student whom didn’t care about the state test. One day I said him..you know you can master this test right? He said no I can’t! I said if you just try you will master! I told him not to do it for anyone but himself! He Mastered with highest score for his class!
What would you do with the $25,000?Being honest pay off some debt but also do something fun for my classes! Pizza party and ice cream and of course by supplies for my classroom! I would by a set of headphones for my classroom as well.
