Summary
I aim to support teachers as they provide a safe and nurturing learning environment that encourages student growth and development. During this engagement, I hope to learn how to create challenging instruction that fosters a love for learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills so I can apply these skills to my roles as a teacher, trainer, older brother, and eventual parent. As the son of a speech therapist with a career working with neurodiverse children in the school system, I have a unique perspective on the impact this role can have on my future capabilities.
