Why I Teach Conversation Series*
* This is one of the requirements for the $250 Try Teaching STEM Scholarship
Description
The format of our “Why I Teach” Conversation Series will be a fireside chat. The moderator will interview a local teacher about how they decided to be a teacher, their pathway to their current position, what impact they have on students, and how education has let them live their best life. After the moderated questions, there will be time for you to ask questions, and then pizza will be provided along with the opportunity for informal discussions. The Why I Teach events are geared toward students interested or possibly interested in careers in education, it is also open to students who are unsure and just want a slice of pizza and love a great story!
