What are the rewards or benefits of being a teacher?
Seeing my students light up when they reach a new personal best of speaking, reading, and understanding French. Seeing their minds work as they make connections between their learning of French language and culture in my classroom and their studies in other subjects, their lives outside of school, and the world. Traveling around France with my students has always been an exceptional experience.
What are the goals you wish to accomplish as a teacher?
My main goal has always been to help my students become life-long, independent learners.
