Pearson Conference on Teaching: Supporting Great Teaching Pathways to a Great Profession Lee-Ann Stephens 2006 MN Teacher of the Year St. Louis Park Schools
Why I Became a Teacher O Teaching as a second career O Story of one of my former first grade students O The legacy of Nathaniel Burruss and Aurelia Ruffin Cobb
Why I Stay
My Current Role O Advocacy for Latino and African American students who take Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Honors’ courses O Interaction and support of colleagues O Reflections as a teacher leader
Attraction to the Profession O Elevate the profession O Multiple pathways O Provide opportunities for advancement within the profession
Final Thought There was a time when teaching chased me down and caught me. In essence, teaching chose me. However, as I progress through my career, I make a conscious choice to stay…to teach. Why? …because I must.
