A teacher, advocate, coach, and a peer. He was my Social Studies teacher and used stories and experiences to teach about local and world events. Hands-on teaching done with humor. This is a great formula for students to learn, listen, practice, and remember. I enjoyed his Social Studies class!!

She was my Junior High Social Studies teacher. She encouraged courageous conversations and diverse opinions. She introduced the book Animal Farm to us we had many discussions about topics such as freedom, responsibility, social justice, and responsible leadership. She gave each of us a true voice and valued our opinions (or at least pretended to). :)

I took every class that Mrs. C offered at my high school. She encouraged me to challenge myself in all tasks, simple or complex. She allowed a lot of choice in her classes. She would set some guidelines and let the students find creative ways to achieve goals and targets. If we wanted to pursue an idea, she supported it. I became her T.A. my senior year, and I loved my time with her. She was always willing to answer my questions and take the time to help with projects I was tasked with. I told her that I would love to have her job when she retired. She was a high school technology teacher. She came to my wedding. I still call her Mrs. Cartwright, and she still calls me Robert.

She was my fifth grade teacher and always went out of her way to make me feel special. She was one that always checked in and made you feel like you made a difference to her and in her life.

Senior year in high school I had a two hour, full year class taught by Dave and Ron. We explored current events, writing, and social justice through film making. We formed small groups and made and edited videos about topics of our choice. The 50 students were able to be vulnerable and honest because of the community those two teachers built and allowed us to build.

My college roommate, a music major, and I challenged each other to take a class from each other's major (mine was English) .  I had no music training and had to sing a solo note the first night of women's chorale practice!  When the director pointed to me, no noise came out except knees knocking from fear.  Rich was so friendly and helped us relax while he played the notes on the piano.  He joked with and encouraged everyone to relax and just make a sound. Each person sang a solo note or two!  Rehearsals were fun and Rich got to. know each student and treated the rookies and music majors equally. At the end of the semester we all sang solos at recital hour.  The next year, on choir tour to England, everyone wanted pictures and dinners with Rich, he was so much fun!

A teacher and coach who pushed me to pursue different challenges on and off the court. I remember him bringing me Snickers bars before the games. In class, he was always smiling and positive.

I hated reading. I was bad at it. I had to leave the room and go to Title 1. Mrs. Peterson was my 1st grade teacher that helped me become a reader. She was dedicated, kind and super supportive. I later had her sister Mrs. Nelson as my 3rd grade teacher. That family was amazing. Such wonderful and positive women. Now it's hard to find me without a book in my hand - Becky

Mrs.Larson was my HS choir teacher. She was someone who recognized my singing abilities even when I didn’t know I had them. She gave me opportunities to help me gain confidence as a singer, which ultimately led to me pursuing music in college.

I learned to share my voice by NOT writing notes in class in 9th or 10th grade. I passed a note to a friend that said "I have a crush on ___". The teacher took it and shared my written voice with the whole class - the name of the person I wrote was also in the class!
Weird memory - but that was all I could think of today!

DH, as we affectionately called her, was my AP Calculus teacher in high school. She always started class by opening up the room for us to share anything and everything. Our class became so close by starting each day this way. DH was also the teacher that we would all go to whenever we needed help, to talk, or just to chat. She was such an inspiration!!
