“There’s nothing better as a teacher than just feeling that love come back to you, because I know most teachers we put our whole hearts into the job. and it’s moments like this that show what we do matter, and that makes us feel pretty good.”
“I just love kids and I love making an impact in children’s lives because I understand they are our future and it takes people like us to make an impact so when they become our age they can make an impact in society."
"This is a job you take because you know you want to prepare these kids and make a lasting impact on the world, and I feel this job allows me to do that."
“I have been teaching for 25 years I would have to say it is the love of my life. I really enjoy it and wouldn’t do any other profession,” Katrina Wilcox said.
A positive influence can have long lasting effects on a child. This week’s WTOC Top Teacher tries to help channel her students’ energy in ways that will help build their educational foundation for years to come.
School is out for the holidays, but we are still honoring our WTOC Top Teachers. We caught up with Ashlie Pearce in Wayne County before the Christmas Break.
She teaches special needs students at Liberty County High School and she is helping to bring out their skills and build their confidence through love and support.
