A teacher's influence doesn't stay in school.  It goes out into the world and cannot truly ever be measured.  Every student you inspire to do something great goes on to inspire others.  There is no limit to your impact.  ---George Couros

It's what I've always wanted to do. My father was a teacher and a coach and I admired what he did and the relationships he had with students and how he helped them succeed.

I was working as a respiratory therapist in the E.R. and ICU and came to the realization that working around so much loss and difficult situations was bringing me down.  I just gave birth to my son and decided I wanted to work with children and people full of life so I went back to school and from that day forward, I have always loved what I do.

Building relationships and connections with the members of our school community is the base that the children we have the opportunity to be responsible for lays the base for everything beyond.

I wanted to be a teacher because as a quiet kid, the teachers who took the time to get to know me and encouraged me made a big difference. Their kindness made school a lot more fun.

I stayed in education because the work is important and learning is fun.

I've wanted to be an educator since I was in 2nd grade. I continue because creating spaces for all kids to learn improves the future for all.

Being an educator is just who I am. It isn't a job it is part of how I define myself as a person.  If we want things to be better we need to do the work.  I also know when school doesn't work and because of those experiences, I think I can continue to create the environment where it will. This way, we can give to our future selves and others. - Jill

I came to teaching through my love of nature and wanting to help foster that love in children.
