My Educational Heroes are a few teachers in my education that have made a difference in my life. I have let each of them know how much they taught me and how much I admire them.
Mrs. Gibson--She was my 2nd grade teacher. It was in this grade that I fell in love with the idea of teaching. I believed I got some of that from watching her. She was such an inspiration to me. I remember how enthusiastic she was about teaching and making sure we learned the curriculum.
Mr. Burge--He was my 6th grade teacher. It was his first year teaching when I had him. He used a lot of arts and songs to incorporate the material he was teaching. I still remember a lot of those lessons today and hope to use them in my future classroom.
Mrs. Peppinger--She was my Foods and Nutrition teacher in middle school. She had a lot of zest for life and teaching. She wanted to make sure her students felt like they were special and she treated us as individuals.
Mr. Crump--He was my World History and A.P. Political Science teacher in High School. He has such a unique teaching style. He has been teaching for over 30 years, and still has a lot of passion in his field. He interacts with the students and has us role play to help us learn. He made learning so much fun
Mrs. Fairbanks--Was my Child Development I, II and Child Care (Pre-school advisor). She taught me a lot about children and how they grow and learn. I was able to teach in the school pre-school and while I taught those young children, I still learned a lot from her. If I hadn't chosen to go into Elementary Education, I would want to do secondary in FACS.
