My name is Chase Baker. I am an jk-5th grade technology teacher. I have taught 2nd grade for 9 years and just recently transitioned into my current position. I enjoy learning new technology and spending time with my friends and family. I have worked in a behavior school for half of my teaching career and I am excited to learn more about how I can help those students who need extra support.
My name is Philip Miller. I am in my 26th year. Right now I teach in Manitowoc, WI. I am upper grade history, PE, Religion, and 6th grade math teacher. Throw in athletic director and vice-principal. I am getting to a point where I feel I am just following the norm and not looking outside the box or not sure how to push others. I need to be more relentless. Looking forward to learning and applying what I learn to myself and students.
My name is Amy Lefler. I am in my 33rd of teaching. 29 in 4th grade and the past 4 in PE. All of these years I have spent at the same elementary school. I feel very fortunate for that. This is my second book study through Transform Your Classroom. Looking forward to reading Relentless and applying some new things into my classes!
Hello! My name is Karla Nieman. Although I am retired, I continue to renew my teaching certification as I'm not quite ready to "give it up." I taught eighth grade English at the same school, in the same classroom. I believe Relentless will be a book that will have many life skills and lessons that will be applicable not only in the classroom, but in my daily life as well.
My name is Pam Lauritsen. I've been teaching for 35 years. I've taught everything from 3rd grade through 8th grade over the years. For the past several years, I've been teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (with another teacher) in Edgemont. I've enjoyed other books from Transform Your Classroom, so I'm confident I'll like this book as well. They help me renew my love of teaching and excitement to try new things in my classroom.
