The Kids Are All Right: Three Stories from Three New Teachers

Join us for Teacher Appreciation Week, where we talk to three teachers of a sometimes overlooked group - first year teachers! That's right, these three educators are just out of school and are in the classroom for the very first time. Learn how they struggled, overcame, and succeeded with their kiddos and peers, and what they'd tell other newbies just starting out.

Mallory Lillo, 6th Grade Math Teacher, Hallsville Intermediate School, Hallsville ISD

Katie Walker, 2nd Grade Teacher, Tarvin Elementary, Leander ISD

James Sheridan, 6th Grade Teacher (Yearbook, Photography & Videography, Creative Writing) Sycamore Springs Middle School, Dripping Springs ISD

Stay tuned for Season Two in September!
