It is the end of the school year which means that we will soon have to say goodbye to a few of our favorite teachers. This year, 5 middle school teachers are leaving or moving out of the middle school. Over the final weeks of school, The Direct Message will post an ‘Exit Interview’ that we conducted with each of these educators.
Check out all the Exit Interviews by clicking here: Exit Interviews
How many years you have been at AES and what were those years:
I am finishing my 5th year at AES (July 2019 - June 2024)
What will you miss most about AES?
I have made some great friends, and I'll miss the children. I really love getting to meet
and work with children and adults from all over the world.
What is the best part about being a teacher at AES?
For the most part, we don't have to deal with the same behavior issues at AES, so we get to focus on greater learning and a positive school environment.
What are your plans for next year and what are your thoughts about this next step? (Please include where you will be and your work plan.)
I'm going home to Australia for a while and looking into teaching there. It's a bit scary because I don't have a job yet. After all, it is the middle of the Australian school year, but I'm sure it'll all work out.
How do you hope your students and colleagues will remember you?
I hope people think I was helpful, supportive, and that I had a positive impact on Middle School
What message would you like to leave for the community at AES?
One of the most important factors to children doing well in school is if they feel part of the community. That means, if people are caring and kind to each other they are actually helping them succeed, and that could have an impact on the rest of their life!
