TEACHER SPOTLIGHT
Every week, The Cranberry Eagle will spotlight a local educator, providing a glimpse into what makes them tick. QUESTION: Why did you become a teacher? ANSWER: My mom, my hero, was a teacher and I saw how happy and fulfilled she was in her work; I felt called to experience the same joy and I do — daily. QUESTION: What is one sentence that sums up what you believe is the key to teaching? ANSWER: Students don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
