“My favorite things about teaching are the moments of magic in the classroom when everyone is learning together and sharing in the excitement of the lesson. Nothing beats the feeling of genuine engagement…My students are engaging in the lessons through reading, writing, listening, and speaking, helping them grow one day at a time.”

We want to spotlight you next!
