Inductee to #kappadeltapi, Kristen Kavallieratos, a graduating student in our TESOL program and current teacher, shared why she teaches: “I teach to change the lives of children. The spark that lights up in their eyes tells me to keep going. My biggest inspiration is mother who reminds me to never give up.” Her #advice for teachers? “Foster positive relationships and a genuine care for your students, the rest will come easily.” #education #highered #highereducation #classof2019 #alphaetasigma #mastersineducation #teacher #TESOL #ESL #ell #inspiringmom #myinspiration #mytourogse #tourogse #whyiteach #spark #showyoucare #changelives #thelightinyoureyes #teachersofinstagram

Odessa Branche just completed her last semester in our School Building & District Leadership program and is a current Special Education teacher. She was inducted into Touro’s #kappadeltapi chapter of the International Honor Society in Education #lastnight 🎉 #timetocelebrate “I teach because it’s a rewarding career. Seeing my students make progress brings me joy. My mom, who’s also a teacher, is my biggest inspiration because she instilled in me the purpose of having a good education. I long to be like her one day.” Odessa says it’s #hardwork and #dedication that will get you inducted into KDP and for all those #futureteachers she advises a #testrun to see if it’s a #goodfit “Go into the classroom as an observer to see if it is something you really want to do. Observing or working in a school setting helps.” #education #highered #highereducation #classof2019 #alphaetasigma #mastersineducation #teacher #specialeducation #schoolbuilding #districtleadership #KDP #familyofteachers #mytourogse #schoolleader #whyiteach #mom #iwanttobelikemom #goodeducation #rewardingcareer #congratulations #classof2019 #specialedteacher
