The influence of a good teacher can never be erased. Rewind back a few years and think to the teacher who made the biggest impact on you. You now have the chance to be the teacher that will make a difference. Your impact goes beyond the classroom. Teaching in today’s society is creative, innovative and engaging. You’ll be the storyteller, scientist, artist and math wiz. Teach from Kindergarten through grade six. Here, you will actually start making a difference in students’ lives before you graduate.
