Jordan Bashore 鈥�20 High School Art Teacher at Commonwealth Charter Academy

The best advice that I can give now is to not stress if you don鈥檛 鈥渉ave it all together鈥� right away. Rely on your colleagues for guidance and let the kids be a part of curating what you teach.

Advice for future teachers: The biggest lesson I have learned so far in my first year of teaching is how to advocate for my students. By choosing to be a teacher, you are choosing to be a voice for your students in order to help them be successful socially, emotionally, and academically.

Kayla Desko 鈥�15 Kindergarten Teacher at Kindergarten Academy

It has been great to see how God has made my entire experience at Kindergarten Academy come full circle from junior field experience to a teacher with a classroom of my own. I know without a doubt that I wouldn鈥檛 be the teacher I am today if it wasn鈥檛 for my time at 蜜桃影像. The professors not only prepared me with the content I needed, but they showed me what it means to be an effective and influential teacher. If I hadn鈥檛 gone to 蜜桃影像 I don鈥檛 think I would have been as prepared to be a Christian educator in a public school.
