As a representative of Ohio teachers, Hill hopes to convey the valuable role she and her peers play in today s society. Teachers are important, Hill says. We need to have good teachers and to show our support in the way we vote and support our schools. Hill tries to maintain close personal relationships with her students, giving her another window of opportunity to relate information to them. It opens up a world of learning when you can reach students on their own level, Hill says.
School is a place where kids feel safe.
My classroom is a community, a family of learning. A better relationship with the parents and kids allows you to be a better spokesperson for the school and for the institution of education. Hill says her experiences at Ohio University helped shape her career as well as her methods and ideals as a teacher. I loved Athens. I would come back in a heartbeat, Hill says.
