Join Melissa and Ty as they talk with Jeremy Cabribas Gallardo, a top 10 finalist for the Arizona Rural School Association's Teacher of the Year. Jeremy teaches in Aguila, Arizona and has been in education for 18 years. She shares about her journey from growing up and teaching in Manila, Philippines to now teaching in a rural Arizona community. Jeremy talks about the strong sense of community she has found in rural schools and wears "many hats" as a teacher - from leading the student council to mentoring new teachers. She also discusses the challenges and rewards of teaching English Language Learners, as well as the importance of character education. Jeremy offers advice to encourage future teachers to consider rural schools for the passionate students they will find there.
Join us to hear how Jeremy is making a difference in her rural school community. She provides perspective on the rural advantage and proudest moments from seeing her students pursue careers based on her encouragement years ago. Jeremy reflects on what keeps her up at night - continuing effective character education and English Language Learning.
