I became a teacher because I started as a substitute and then as a pair and loved what I was doing to help kids so then I went back to school as an adult and got my teaching degree. I love helping special-needs students. That’s what started my passion.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable, teaching experience was helping my special-needs Students learn life skills like going to the store, the post office, or going to the local hotel to do the job of folding towels and learning work skills. during these activities, students found a way to use what they learned in society.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would buy things for my special-needs classrooms and special education department, I would take my students on some really cool field trips, and maybe pay off my student loan.
