“Teaching in itself can be a very lonely endeavor. We need to network with colleagues. And while one can certainly teach on their own and not need a network, you’re not going to thrive in the profession in the way that you will if you are a member of the association.”
“By being a member of MTNA, you really get to be on the cutting edge of everything that’s going on.”
“Continue learning and growing. There’s always something new that can inspire you, and that inspiration, that passion, that enthusiasm will translate to what your students are learning.”
“If we’re professionals, and we are, it really behooves us to continue to educate ourselves. It’s really important to support our fellow teachers.”
