“Teaching is a profession where the most extraordinary moments occur in the unexpected connections, the collaborative discoveries, and the triumphs of students realizing their own potential. For me, effective teaching is all about reaching every student.  One of the most rewarding aspects of the profession is the opportunity to connect students with the world beyond the classroom, helping them cultivate skills that will undoubtedly last a lifetime.” - Melissa Evon
