Tell us why you became a teacher

I love working with children who have a challenge to learn.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

A student began to share about her family's life. Her Mom and Dad were going through a divorce. The student loves art so I ADDED two new white boards on wheels to the classroom. I set the station with white board markers and a eraser. The student began drawing daily. The other students showered her with compliments. I learned that she was suicidal. She didn't commit suicide.
