N/A
Favorite & Least Favorite Part About Teaching
Favorite part: “Seeing so much growth in the students from beginning of
year to end (academic, social, emotional) and knowing I made a
difference. Creating a strong classroom community that makes students
feel safe, regardless of home life. Having students come back to see me
due to the lasting impact I have made”

Least Favorite Part: “So much to accomplish in such little time. A lot of
time and effort put in outside of school to make sure all students are
successful (coming early, staying late, nights and weekends).”
