I decided to become a teacher leader because of my passion for math. My colleagues and administrators encouraged me to apply for the position. I was already doing the job before I applied for the position. I know when I help  my colleagues I am also helping students to be passionate about math. I became a Leader because I am committed to the community where my school is. This community is my home.

I felt that I can contribute more to my school community being outside of the classroom and having a larger impact. Working with a great team of people and those who also saw my potential and recommended me to this role was another reason that motivated me towards teacher leadership.

It began because I hungered to be the teacher I needed as a child. This then became wanting to be the support the teachers on my team needed so that they can be the best for their students. The role came naturally for me as I began as a Teaching Fellow with a hunger to learn as much as I could throughout my 13 year career as an educator and leader. Also my principal asked me to do this, as a lot of the work I had been doing for the school fell into the peer collaborative role anyway. ~Awilda Jimenez

This is my third year being a teacher leader. The first year started off really well in person and then moved into remote learning. Last year, was a new hybrid model as well. I decided to continue to work with teacher leadership because I enjoy helping the teachers in my school as we all work to help students recover and move forward from the last two years. I feel like it’s a time to take what we have learned through the pandemic and become even better educators.

I feel like I have something to offer my colleagues in terms of experience and passion for project learning. And that this in turn will help all of our students -- I guess it's a way to have a bigger impact within our small learning community.

My big why is about helping teachers experience less stress while also growing in their instructional practice. I have so much enjoyed visiting classrooms and modeling lessons. The comments I get from these teachers help propel me forward.

Last year I decided that I was going to take the time and necessary steps to work towards qualification and taking on the role in my school community. Additionally, I applied to an SBL program. I want to be apart of developing teachers so they can deliver high quality instruction to our students as every child deserves a high quality teacher.
