Learn MoreI became a teacher because I enjoyed tutoring students when I was in college and enjoyed subbing high school math classes. Also, I had two siblings who were teachers who inspired me to become one.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience had to be last year when I taught about 230 students in seven different classes. It was a big challenge to teach so many students, but it was a very successful experience. About 90 percent of my students showed over a year’s growth that year.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to help my 9 year old son start a college fund for his future.
