Nurturing Young People's Minds and Spirit

If you're thinking about becoming a teacher, you've probably been inspired by a good teacher you had who made a subject come alive. Outstanding teachers are unique and their impact on students is immeasurable. Although teaching is a demanding profession, the rewards far outweigh the difficulties. Teachers have the privilege of sharing the excitement of new ideas with students and seeing their joy as they come to know God and appreciate the breadth of His claims.
