I obtained an undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education and have a Masters in Secondary Mathematics. I plan to continue my educational growth by pursuing a Spe- cialist in Educational Leadership. I have been teaching for 10 years. I believe being a teacher is a challenging profession, however, the benefits that students receive make my efforts worth it. As a teacher, I have learned that I am more than just an educator to my Meet the 2019 Teacher of the Year Finalists students. I have become their doctor, counselor, disciplinarian, friend but most importantly, I became their “mother”. Deciding to be a teacher was not about duties and responsibilities for me. I wanted to give students life experiences, knowledge and deposit the same joy of learning of academics and the Arts into them that I received from my own mother. Therefore, I treat each of my students as if they are my sons and daughters. As a teacher I am co-parenting with others in the development of a student.

Sallie Manning My goals in teaching include using my business background as a bridge to relate content to student lives and potential experiences and to create a close community where the diversity of people, culture, thought and ideas are accepted, embraced and used to pro- mote deeper thinking and learning. A classroom infused with energy and humor promotes that sense of community. Students should be challenged to think beyond the boundaries of their school and hometown in order to adopt a greater world view, and that is done more readily if they feel valued, accepted and part of family. It is my role as a teacher leader to create life-long learners and to help students develop critical thinking skills that will help them succeed academically, professionally and personally. This is imperative given the significant social, political and economic challenges of the world in which they live and will help shape. Our methods and activities must be consistently changing and fluid to promote
