Learn MoreI always loved helping people, especially children. I would play "school" growing up. I wanted to make a difference in lives and teaching touches everyone's lives.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a student who was always getting in trouble in class ( disrupting others, taking things, etc). I tried removing her from the group and putting her in the back of the room (because that is what everyone did). It did not work, so I put her desk by mine. We started talking more and I made a true connection. She ended up being a model student and having a great first grade year!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would love to have better internet in our school!
