What teacher made a difference in your life, and how?
The teachers who had the most impact on me were my high school civics teacher and my math studies teacher. In both courses, students were required to formulate logical arguments and express their findings through writing and public speaking. Both educators went above and beyond by hosting office hours outside of school, within the community, and demonstrated a profound investment in their students. They serve as the models I look to when considering the role of educator.
