Happy smiling teacher

"I love teaching because each day is a new day full of unique opportunities and challenges as the classroom learns, grows, and serves together. Teaching at Bergman Academy, specifically, aligns with my educational philosophy of not only instructing content, but also creating a student-centered environment in which students are motivated, reflective, and leaders in their learning."
