There is such a pleasure in working with folks new to teaching. I think it’s because I love the profession so deeply, and getting to share that love with new teachers, while also experiencing their joys, triumphs, and challenges, is incredibly fulfilling. I want nothing more than to keep inviting people in and supporting them in the journey.
