Impact Stories
Teaching a class is tough, but imagine one with 88 preschoolers. That’s a lot of energetic little ones running around, jumping, and crying - chaos, right? Honestly, just thinking about it can be overwhelming. But at Good Shepherd Community School, two teachers are doing extraordinary work to transform their classroom.
When you walk into Martha and Sarah’s classroom, the first thing you’ll notice is order.
Every Wednesday by 7:30 AM, a small crowd of kids gathers outside the library gate, excitement shining in their eyes. Some press their faces between the slats, trying to peek inside, hoping to catch a glimpse of what’s in store. Our themed community days expose the children to interactive lessons ranging from science to technology to music and more. This month, we featured a local artist, Hugh, who used his gifts to help the children discover theirs.
Through our one-on-one coaching, Alice’s teaching has transformed and the impact is clear in her students’ results. By confidently implementing an effective reading program, she has seen her students’ reading rates soar.
Alice says, “For me, as a teacher, I have been impacted a lot. And that impact I got, I also impacted the kids as well.”
