GETTING TO
KNOW AOA STAFF
By Elisabeth M .

Interview with Mrs. Carter
How long have you been a
teacher ?
Since 2007, but I have taken
some time off to stay home
with my son.?
What made you want to be
a teacher ?
I knew I wanted to work with
students. I love getting to hear
students' thoughts and interact
with them. The teenage years
are such a formative time in
our lives and I love getting to
be a small part of that,
helping students navigate
their education.?
How'd you find out about
AOA?
Good old-fashioned Google. I
knew I wanted a teaching job
in which I could work from
home so I looked for
Christian Online Schools. A
job opened up and here I am.?
What gr ades do you teach?
7th, 8th, 11th, and 12th
What are some of your
hobbies?

crafty projects, and taking
walks with my husband and
son.?
Where are you from?
Upstate New York
Do you have any pets?
Oh no - not much of an
animal lover. Oh well now
wait, actually my son has a
Betta fish named Blue.
What is something you'd
like your students to know?
I love teaching history and
government because of how
relevant it is to our lives
today. We get to live the
successes of the people who
came before us and,
hopefully, avoid their failures.
And I love teaching
government and instilling in
my students an appreciation
for taking an active role in
their citizenship - and how
much more relevant is it in a
Presidential Election year in
the US?!
