A5 My biggest advice for a new educator is to take time to get to know students and make connections with them. They won't remember everything you taught them, but they will remember how you made them feel #Eduspireedu939
A4 The BEST part of teaching elementary is getting to know each of my students and building positive connections with them. It is really special when I get to reconnect with some of them years after having them and sharing memories made in the classroom. #EduspireEDU939
A3 I wish others understood that teaching elementary students is so much more than just teaching our students academics. Educators assume so many other important roles in the lives of our students than just being their teacher! #Eduspireedu939
