Character education is my passion and is incorporated into most lessons I teach.” “If you meet students where they are academically, they can advance to the next academic level.” Ebony Lewis, Permenter Middle School, World History Terri Harris, Plummer Elementary, Second-Grade Reading, Social Studies Ahdeenaw Jordan, Waterford Oaks Elementary, Fourth-Grade Math “When students know you care and you are passionate about their success, they will give you their best.” “I want my students to showcase who they are and not let anything impede their destiny.” “It is my belief that all students can learn and we, as educators, have to meet them at their level to elevate them to their greatest potential.” 9
