#FCPSTeacherTuesday “I have always loved school. When I was young, I collected books and pretended to teach my sister in the house. I either wanted to drive a school bus or be a teacher. I loved being in school and learning new things. I grew up with an aunt who was a principal in rural Kentucky and during the summer months I would go visit her and she would take me to her school and let me play teacher in the classroom.” Christopher Timberlake 3rd Grade Teacher Orange Hunt Elementary School If you'd like to join the hashtag#FCPSFam and become a teacher with FCPS, apply now! https://bit.ly/3DtIspG

#FCPSTeacherTuesday “I am fortunate enough to have had amazing educators throughout my years who have shared a passion for not only biology but learning in general.

#FCPSTeacherTuesday "I joined the education field because of my passion to work with our future. Nothing is more rewarding than having former students contact you to let you know that they are doing well and they are college bound. The relationships you build with students hold more value than grades. A great leader and mentor once told me “Connection over Content” is the primary driving factor of our work, without connecting to students, and ensuring their safety, no amount of teaching will have an impact on the students' learning. I hold to that, even today after 18 years in the profession."

#FCPSTeacherTuesday "I wanted to become a teacher because the teachers I had growing up made such an amazing difference in my educational career that it made me want to be like them. When I was in high school, I started working at a learning center and it was a great experience seeing the growth each child would make over time. I chose FCPS because this is where I grew up. I went to Louise Archer, Thoreau, and JMHS. So I knew I wanted to come back to this wonderful community and be a part of a new generation's learning path."
