Why I Teach
"It’s a great day teaching when a student smiles and realizes that they had the capability of grasping a concept that is very difficult."
"The relationships our teachers build extends well beyond the year a child is in our class. Our students receive an excellent education and an incredible support system."
"As I was making the decision to become a teacher, I knew I had this intense passion and love for biology and genetics, and I wanted to share that with young people. What drives me most is interacting with my students."
"I love Country Day for its 'What if?' factor. I love that I can have an idea and I can go to my department head and the answer is always 'let’s explore that.'”
"We’ve created a culture at the Middle School that mistakes are part of the learning process, and it is what makes us better human beings."
