Tell us why you became a teacher

My dad was a middle school teacher for over 40 years.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When a student came to me speaking zero English and after repeating Kindergarten, graduated with a B in Reading.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Put it towards a program I plan to start the year after next. I want to work with kids with social emotional needs as well as mental health coaching for teachers facing burnout.
