What is your favorite part of student teaching?
My favorite part of student teaching is working with and learning from the wonderful teachers at Diller-Odell -- especially learning from my CT, Carly Vitosh.
What do you consider the most important thing about being a teacher?
Building relationships and showing your students that you truly care about them personally, not just academically.
What inspired you to become a teacher?
My mom is a teacher, and I always loved going to help her in the classroom during the summers. I grew up getting to see her put her whole heart into her job and I knew that it was something I wanted to be a part of.
What are your plans after graduation?
I will be subbing and doing my Cooperating Teacher's maternity leave through the end of the school year! Then I will look for a job for the following school year.
What advice do you have for someone interested in teaching?
Teaching can be a tough career to go into, but it is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. It is also just so much FUN!
What is your favorite memory of your time in the Teacher Education Program?
I loved the experience that we gained at the Reading Center in the Methods Block. Most importantly, I enjoyed creating new friendships through the program that I know will last a lifetime.
