My Favorite Teaching Moment
I enjoy watching my students discover that, with effort and the right attitude, they can achieve just about anything. I also like to build relationships with students and their parents, thereby creating a community of learners that extends beyond the current school year. One of my most memorable teaching moments happened a couple of years ago when a former fifth-grade social studies student of mine came to visit me. He was being honored as one of the top seniors in his graduating class at a nearby school district. He asked me, as his most influential teacher, to be his guest at an awards banquet. It was a humbling experience.
Why I Love Teaching PLS Courses
PLS courses offer teachers fun-filled, meaningful activities and ideas to share with their students. I love the relaxed atmosphere of the PLS classroom!
