esball世博学生的特点是什么?
NF: 我认为分威的学生是有责任心和适应力的. Things are not easy 在这里 at Fenwick so being responsible with your time and accountable to yourself is key. T在这里 are also going to be hard classes and a bad grade 在这里 or t在这里 for just about every student 在这里 at Fenwick. It's not going through adversity, but our response to it that defines us as Friars.
When did you decide to become a teacher, and why did you choose this field?
When did you decide to become a teacher, and why did you choose this field?
NF: I actually made the decision to work with kids in the summer of 2008 when I had an internship at the Boys and Girls Club in Champaign. 当时我在伊利诺伊大学主修会计学, but had a great time working with kids of all ages that summer and began to realize the impact I could have working with kids not only just in social or athletic environments, 但在学习环境中也是如此.
What personal strengths do you find especially helpful in your teaching?
NF: I think my ability to relate to students and break information down in different ways really helps me connect with students. 根据我的经验, when students understand that you are knowledgeable and care about them and their success, they are more likely to give their best effort at any task they may be attempting - inside and outside of the classroom.
你最喜欢教什么课?
NF: 我非常喜欢数学和历史. 数学一直是我的爱好, and I thoroughly enjoy helping students understand the processes required to solve different kinds of equations. I like history because t在这里 is so much to learn from our past
你在教学中最大的成功是什么?
NF: I am very proud of the work we did in the Functional Life Skills room at Jefferson Middle School in Champaign. Our students came from all different backgrounds with varying levels of disabilities, and by the time they would leave us in 8th grade they were socializing with other adults and their peers and they were ready for high school and anything that may come after, 包括在社区工作. 他们是一个很棒的团队，和他们一起工作非常值得.
今天的学生面临着怎样的挑战啊?
NF: 有太多了. From continuing to deal with the fallout of COVID to growing up in the digital age w在这里 social media and screen time are just expected to be a part of daily life, I think it can be really hard to be a middle school or high school student today. I also think that a number of students struggle with developing their own methodology to solve problems as they come up in school or elsew在这里. I think it's crucial that we allow them to develop these skills for their growth as young adults. Too often we think we are helping by guiding students to the answer or an easier way, when in reality t在这里 is so much to be learned from going through adversity and learning from your mistakes.
