Q: What was it like to receive the honor of Teacher of the Year?
A: I was very honored to have my dedication acknowledged by my coworkers. Contributions of special education teachers, especially those like myself who work more with behavior than academic lessons, tend to not be as obvious. I gladly accept Teacher of the Year for having a hand in assisting high school students to become the best versions of themselves and contributing to our community.
Q: What did your students think of your award?
A: Many of my students were happy I finally got noticed for what I do.
Q: What traits do you hope to bring to your classroom?
A: I want the students who visit my classroom to feel safe, accepted and heard. I role-model and uphold what I want to see. My consistency and fairness builds that investment with students that stick with them for a long time. Humor and humility help a hard time become less difficult to manage. I exhibit patience, calm and forgiveness with those who need it the most.
Q: What words would you like to leave your student’s with at the end of the year?
A: You ultimately are the one responsible for your choices and actions. It’s not easy to make the right decision, but honoring yourself and your feelings will always be worth it. Be sure to surround yourself with the people who encourage and support you to achieve greatness.
