Middle schoolers are awesome! They're curious about the world around them and figuring out who they are and who they want to be. The best part of my job as a Teacher and Librarian is watching my students grow and change and become more independent. Whether I'm in math class or the Library, I see my role as guide or mentor. I'm there to support students as they explore, but I respect that it's their journey and let them find their way. That could be finding which strategy or tool helps them solve math problems more efficiently or confidently or it could be exploring a new genre of book. I'm inspired by each and every student's journey and consider it a privilege to witness these citizens-in-progress grow and develop. Whatever I can do to help them on their way is both my job and my passion.
