What inspires you in the classroom?: What inspires me most in the classroom is watching students discover what they're capable of. Every spark of curiosity, every moment of perseverance, and every act of kindness reminds me why I teach. Seeing students grow not only in knowledge, but also in confidence and character, is the greatest reward and the reason I look forward to each new day with them.
