I teach a class of 20 second graders in a small school of approximately 300 students.
We are a Title 1 school with many students who come from tough situations at home. This leads to a high rate of absenteeism, as well as other setbacks. I strive to have a positive impact on the daily lives of my own students and to help them develop high self-esteem and motivation. I understand my key role in igniting passion, curiosity, and a love for learning in my students so that they value their own education, see their set backs as a part of growth, and succeed.
