Madie
“The children deserve a teacher who always tries her best and never gives up on herself or the children."
Claire
“If I taught myself, I would make sure to include daily discussions. One of my favorite classes in high school was Current Events. Sometimes you can get so caught up school and your social life and forget about what is actually going on around you."
Courtney
"I want to make sure my students know that I see them as more than just a student."
Ciera
