"As an AP with you as a teacher, I remember how you welcomed me. I also recall the way you made each of your students feel seen, heard and that they belonged. Your students felt safe and cared for. They were a community. That’s the real magic of teaching and you have it!" -Chris C.
"Your lesson on states of matter which involved a lab on smelting tin or nickel opened up a career for Ian. He's excelling at his studies in Materials Science Engineering up at Michigan Tech, and just wrapped up 8 months as Mercury Marine's Heat Treat Metallurgical Engineering Co-op. That lesson was life-changing." -Heather D.W.
"You're an amazing teacher! I will never forget the way you made sure Aliyah’s Social Emotional needs were supported and nurtured. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to children and families!"
-Delorise P.
"As a parent of two former students I remember feeling like you really cared about them and they trusted you. We talk about the importance of relationships all the time and you took the time to invest in the relationships with them. And they remember you fondly for that."
-Christine M.
"I will always remember the little businesses you had us make and the “money” we would use to buy things from other students. It was when slime was SUPER popular so I remember that being a big one. Overall, I always remember you being so kind yet a bit strict which was such an amazing learning experience for me, I feel like that taught me a lot about myself and life generally and I hope to be able to replicate that with my own students eventually." -Shea V.
"I don’t have a lot of vivid memories from my time at Dater but I know for a fact I absolutely adored being in your class. You made me actually interested in the things you were teaching and you absolutely changed my development as a person for the best. 🫶"
-Jessica S.
