About meJoe Santa MariaWhy did I become a teacher?
I started coaching sports shortly after high school and realized quickly that I had a passion for working with youth and helping them achieve their goals. Wanting to be able to do this fulltime I went back to school and earned my teaching degree. Why do I like teaching at Inspire? I love teaching at Inspire for many reasons. The students are always number one, but being able to work with great people that are like minded makes my job awesome. Our school is unique so it creates many different teaching opportunities that I would never have thought of in the past. What is the best thing about teaching? My favorite parts of teaching are connecting with students and sharing with them knowledge that they will be able to use long after school. I love the classes I teach because it’s more than just learning the content, it’s also prepare students for life. Any personal info or fun facts about yourself you would like to share
I would tell parents that just because it’s online doesn’t mean it’s easier! I believe it takes a lot more effort from both the parent and student to be successful at our school compared to an in person school. Students that are motivate and dedicated will have great success at our school. |
