My name is Erin Rademacher and I am proud to have joined the NIS community as a homeroom teacher in 2022. I am originally from Chicago in the United States and moved to Chiang Mai in August of 2022. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Illinois State University in December of 2020 with a Bachelor’s of Education as well as with an additional endorsement as a Learning Behavior Specialist. I believe that building relationships is an essential component to a classroom and strive to support my student's as individual learners. I work toward creating a joyful learning environment for my students and look forward to a year full of learning and fun!

Hello NIS families! I am excited to join the team as one of the new K3 teachers for the 2023/2024 academic year.

I was born and raised in Chiang Mai, Thailand and began my academic career by attending preschool at NIS. When I was 16, I moved to Tennessee in the United States, where I finished high school. I then went to Berea College in Kentucky for my B.A. in Child and Family Studies. While attending college, I worked for two years as a Social Media Manager for Berea College’s marketing department. When I graduated, I continued working with the marketing department as the Digital Marketing Associate for a year. In that position, I continued managing Berea College’s various social media outlets while also helping design and launch Berea College’s new website. I earned a Digital Marketing Professional dual certificate from the Digital Marketing Institute and the American Marketing Association.

However, I missed spending time with children and as a child of teachers myself, I missed being in a classroom. I am so happy to be back in my hometown, Chiang Mai, and to work at the school where my father, Andrew McRady, used to be Assistant Principal.
Outside of school, I love reading, cross-stitching, eating Thai food, geocaching, playing DND, traveling and Thai dancing.
It is an honor being here and I can’t wait to meet everyone!

Hello NIS families! I am very excited and honored to be joining the team as the K3 homeroom teacher for the 2023/2024 school year. I was born and raised in Rochester, New York, United States. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Childhood Education K-6 and my Master’s Degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from The State University of New York at Fredonia. I fell in love with teaching while I was abroad in Cambodia in 2015 and have been teaching ever since.

While I was in school to become a teacher, I worked with a variety of different students of varying ages. I worked with students in a 6th-grade English as a Second Language math class, I worked as a Lead Teacher in a preschool classroom, I tutored a student in 3rd grade, I taught in an English-based afterschool program, I taught in a 1st-grade classroom in Belize, and I just recently was a Universal Pre-Kindergarten teacher in a school district in New York.

Teaching internationally has always been a passion of mine. I am very excited to move to Chiang Mai and provide my services to the students at NIS. I am dedicated to helping students learn and grow in a safe and fun environment. I will bring my passion and dedication to NIS to make it a successful year!

Outside of school, I love to take photos and explore nature. I am excited to learn all about you!

I joined Nakornpayap International School in 2002. I love teaching at NIS where students come to school eager and ready to learn, families are positive and supportive and colleagues are inspiring and dedicated.  I graduated from Trent University, Peterborough, Canada with a Bachelor of Arts (honors) in Native Studies and Psychology and later obtained a Bachelor of Education (Primary/Junior divisions) from Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Canada.  I have a passion for teaching and love watching students reach their fullest potential by engaging them in high-energy and hands-on lessons. I look forward to working together with you as partners in your child’s growth and development.

This is my second year at NIS. Last year I was teaching K2 in the ECC, but this year I am very excited to be teaching Grade One in the Elementary School! In 2018 I won an Outstanding Achievement in Teacher Training across London. I then graduated from the University of Durham with a First Class Degree in Primary Education in 2021, having taught at an Outstanding rated school in the Northeast of England for three years. I believe children create their own unique understanding of the world through shared experiences, so working together is fundamental to my classroom pedagogy.

I am incredibly excited to join the NIS family. I am from Phoenix, Arizona and have spent my first year in Thailand as an ESL educator. I have a Bachelor of Science in Family Studies and Human Development and a Masters of Education in Elementary Education.

My approach to teaching is to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters growth and development, where students feel comfortable expressing themselves, making mistakes, and taking risks. I use a variety of teaching methods in my classroom, such as hands-on activities, group tasks, and project-based learning, to meet the various interests and needs of my students. I am looking forward to a wonderful year of growth, learning, and fun.

In my free time, I can be found adventuring to the beautiful Chiang Mai mountains and hunting for new cafes.

I joined the NIS faculty in 2011. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, with a second major in Psychology, from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the United States. I also have a Master’s Degree in Education from the same university. I believe that all children are unique, creative, and have an inborn desire to learn. My classroom is a happy, lively community of eager learners! I sincerely enjoy creating lasting relationships with the students and families of NIS.

I have been living in Seattle, Washington in the United States for the last 18 years. I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts in the U.S. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and a minor in Spanish. After working in various careers, I decided teaching and working with children is really my passion. I went back to school and earned a Master’s degree in Education.

I have been teaching since 2011 in public schools in Seattle. I have taught 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th grades. I love getting to know my students and learning from them. I enjoy integrating humor into my teaching and I try to make learning fun and engaging.
I am very excited to join the NIS community. I have friends who taught at Nakornpayap International School from 2009-2011. They always talked about how much they enjoyed their experience teaching there. I had NIS in my sights since and often looked on the website for teaching opportunities. I am so excited that it’s happening! I am excited about moving to Chiang Mai and bringing my teaching experience to my students.

Outside of school I love to run, weight lift, swim, and travel. I love to read and discuss world history. I am looking forward to meeting and learning about you all.

I first joined the NIS family in 2019. However, I began my teaching career in 2013. Before coming to NIS, I was an EFL instructor and Grade 1 Homeroom teacher at Montfort College Primary Section in Chiang Mai. I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from the University of Cumbria, United Kingdom. I also hold a Master’s Degree (MA) in Law. I have a great passion for teaching. I find joy in witnessing a child learn something new and knowing I was a main influence in their doing so. I look forward to continuing to have a positive impact on my students' growth with an amazing team here at NIS.

Hi, my name is Ms. Mary! I have been teaching for 10+ years now. I have a master’s degree in elementary education with a reading endorsement. I come from Seattle, Washington.

I am so excited to join the team as a new Grade 3 homeroom teacher for the 2023/2024 school year! I was born and raised in Houston, Texas in the United States.
I spent four years teaching grades 1 and 2 in Houston, Texas before deciding to make the move into international teaching. I then spent two years at an international school in Mexico City, Mexico, teaching grades 2 and 4. After which, I spent two more years teaching grade 2 in Singapore.
Thailand has always held a special place in my heart and I am now very excited to make the move to Chiang Mai and support the wonderful students at NIS. I hope to bring all of my teaching experience and passion for character education to the classroom.
Outside of school I love to cook, hike, and am passionate about animals. I can’t wait to learn more about all of you!

I am so excited to join the team as a new Grade 3 homeroom teacher.  I was born and raised in Houston, Texas in the USA.  I received a sociology degree from University of Central Florida in 2005.  At the time I was planning to become a professor in Sociology but after a strong recommendation from my favorite professor I left the USA to explore other countries and cultures.  I worked in South Korea and China as an ESL teacher for 10 years.  I really enjoyed my time there and was able to learn a lot of culture and language.  

Wanting to improve my teaching craft I applied and was accepted into the NYC Teaching Fellows in 2014.  In NYC I taught Grade 5 math for 2 years and simultaneously earned a Masters In Education at Hunter College on a scholarship.  Following my time in NYC I moved back to China with my family and taught at an international school for 2 years in Kunming.   In 2019 I moved back to my family farm to help my aging parents.  At the time I ran a successful BBQ business and learned a lot about managing a restaurant.  Also I received a US pilots license after significant study and effort.  In 2022 I moved to Thailand to be closer to my family and worked as a 3rd grade teacher at another International School in Chiang Mai.  

I really like Thailand and I am especially fond of the northern part of Chiang Mai.  I own a home here and plan to spend many years here building my life and family.  I understand many of you are concerned about the educational experience your children have had over the last few weeks.  I am a dedicated and professional teacher and with the support of the 3rd grade team and admin I will work hard to create a fun and rigorous learning environment for your children. 

Outside of school I really enjoy taking care of my orchids and fish along with cooking high quality healthy meals for my family.  I also enjoy exploring new places in my car.

I feel very grateful to begin my fifth year of teaching at NIS! Before coming to NIS I was a 3rd grade teacher in America for 5 years. I have a Bachelor of Science in both Elementary Education and Special Education from the University of Minnesota, USA. In my classroom, I strive to cultivate a learning environment where students have a strong sense of belonging, significance, and fun. I am passionate about instilling a love for reading in my students, giving my students choice and autonomy over their learning experiences, and building strong relationships with my student’s families. I am proud to be a teacher at NIS and look forward to another wonderful year ahead!

I am very excited to join the team and become a part of the NIS community! For the past 3 years I have been living and working in Bangkok as a grade 2 Homeroom teacher at an International School, and I am thrilled for this wonderful opportunity to move to Chiang Mai to continue my teaching career at such an esteemed place.
I am originally from New Jersey in the United States, where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology/Child Studies and my Masters in Teaching degree in Elementary Education. I have worked for the past 7 years as an educator, teaching grade 4 in the US, grade 2 in Bangkok, and ESL to grade 5 students in Chonburi, Thailand. My goal as a teacher has been to instill a passion for learning in each of my students through engagement, inquiry, and hand-on projects, enhancing their curiosity about the world around them, and I look forward to bringing this same energy into my classroom at NIS!
Outside of teaching I am passionate about traveling and nature, and I'm a pretty active person. I enjoy hiking, trail running, scuba diving, yoga, and competing in fitness competitions. I look forward to meeting all of you!

I am excited to be joining the team as a new Grade 4 Homeroom teacher for the 2023/2024 school year. I am a creative, passionate elementary teacher, who believes that with care and respect I can support children to become the best version of themselves; global citizens who can and do strive to make a difference in the world in which they live.

After receiving my BA degree in Psychology and Fine Art in the UK, I completed my teaching qualification (PGCE) through the University of Sunderland, UK, and started my career teaching at an international school in Budapest. Born in Hungary, but having lived internationally in Asia through my childhood years, I followed my dream of moving back to South East Asia and moved to Yangon, Myanmar, to teach KS1 and KS2 at an international school there. I was also eco-coordinator and was involved in planning green school accreditation for the primary school.

In my free time I enjoy travelling, I love to explore books and the arts, teaching yoga and mindfulness, and Zumba.

I’m originally from Ontario, Canada, and began my teaching career in 2017 in Surat Thani, Thailand
before relocating to Chiang Mai in 2019. I have an Honours Specialization Bachelor of Arts in Media and
Communication and am currently completing my iPGCE from the University of Derby.
I’m honoured and excited to be a part of the dynamic community at NIS! I believe that learning is both
enchanting and boundless, and that reading is the key to limitless knowledge and growth. I strive to
create a lively and engaging classroom wherein all students feel a sense of belonging and daily growth
through appropriate challenges. I’m passionate about nurturing the immense capacity for learning that
every student possesses and, through a focus on specific behaviors and attitudes, aim to instill in my

I am an internationally published scholar in environmental materials and nanotechnology. My passion for science began in high school, where I was a fellow of the Center of Talents in Serbia. I graduated with a Biology degree from the University of Novi Sad and went on to obtain a Ph.D. in Environmental Science.
My research focuses on environmentally friendly production of nanomaterials and their applications in electronic devices and wearable electronics. My work has garnered recognition worldwide and has been published in renowned scientific journals.
With extensive experience at Mahidol University, Chiang Mai University, and now as part of the NIS family, I will bring a wealth of knowledge to my field. Alongside my research, I am committed to sharing his expertise and fostering the growth of young learners at NIS. My dedication to mentoring and inspiring the next generation of scientists makes me a valuable asset in the field of science education.

I am very much looking forward to joining NIS as the Grade 5 Mathematics teacher. I have recently returned to Thailand after teaching Mathematics in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for the past two years.

I started my teaching career in Australia as an Elementary teacher but then specialized in Mathematics teaching when I realized it was the subject I enjoyed teaching the most. This was a surprise to me because I didn't particularly enjoy Mathematics at school. As such, I aim to give all Grade 5 students an understanding as to how interesting, intuitive and real-world Mathematics can be as a subject.

I have a Bachelor of Education (Primary) from Macquarie University, Australia and a Masters of Education (Mathematics) from Newcastle University, Australia.

At NIS I am accompanied by my wife, Orathai, who is a Grade 2 Support Teacher. My son, Thomas, will be joining as a student in Grade 10.

This is my fifth year working at Nakornpayap International School. I worked as a teacher assistant in second grade for 3 years and this is my second year as a support teacher in first grade. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Rajabhat University, Chiang Mai. I love working with grade 1 and 2 students.

This year I have the pleasure of serving as a Grade 2 Support Teacher.

Prior to joining NIS, I gained experience in working in international schools in Thailand in various roles including Admissions, Marketing and Teacher Support. I have also worked in Australia as an Special Needs Support Teacher to assist students with learning difficulties. My Support Teacher certification is from Australia. Prior to coming to NIS, I lived in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for two years.

At NIS I will be joined by my spouse Robert McGregor (Grade 5 Mathematics teacher). Our son Thomas will enter Grade 10 at NIS.

I have worked at the school since August 2016 and I live in Chiang Mai.  I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Japanese Language from Rajabhat University, Chiang Mai. I love to work with children and see them learn many new things.

Hello, my name is Justin D. Parker and I began teaching at NIS in 2021 as the middle school science instructor. This year, I’m very excited to teach grade 3 and help our younger learners discover their passions! As my background is in Earth & environmental science, my goals for this year are rooted in helping to build a strong STEM foundation (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) for our grade 3 kids... All while keeping a fun and supportive atmosphere. (ALL subjects are important of course but I've always personally enjoyed science the most!) This school indeed makes me feel at home; I fell in love with NIS during the first year in which I taught. When I'm not teaching, I like exploring outdoors, learning languages, design and engineering/3D printing projects, learning fermentation/microbial hobbies, and of course I adore everything about science. I am looking forward to this coming year at NIS and am excited to remain a part of the team!

I have completed my internship at Nakornpayap International School (NIS) last academic year, 2022. I enjoyed working here. I graduated from Asia-Pacific International University majoring in Teaching. This is my first year working with NIS. I am grateful that I am part of the community of NIS and helping fourth grade as a support teacher. As I have decided to be an effective teacher one day, I believe that this will be the opportunity for me to learn from different experience teachers before I have my own classroom.

This is my 8^th year teaching at NIS. I hold 2 Bachelor degrees; in International Business as well as Education and have taught in the US, China and Thailand. Chiang Mai has truly become home for my family and we are happy to be part of the NIS community. I believe that teachers who love teaching, teach children to love learning. I want to get children excited about learning because after all, teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions!

I first joined NIS in 2022. The past few years I’ve spent here in Thailand, I taught English at an international school to over 200 students and absolutely loved it. Prior to coming here, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Rhode Island in 2014, where I also taught Experimental Psychology as an undergraduate. In 2017, I received my Master’s degree in Psychology with a focus on Research at American University. I am working on obtaining my Master's in Education from Colorado State University. In addition, I’ve worked directly in the field of Psychology as an Assistant Director. My roles as both a rehabilitator and mentor for adults suffering from a variety of mental illnesses and learning disabilities has given me unique insight as an educator. My peers, co-workers and students alike say that I consistently teach with passion and energy! Teaching brings me joy and I believe it is my mission both inside and outside of the classroom, to actively engage students to utilize and enhance their critical thinking skills while having fun. I praise NIS for their diverse and collaborative community they have built and feel honored to be a part of it.

I am from the UK and have been teaching for over a decade. I hold multiple degrees, including a
Bachelor’s degree in Law, Post Graduate Certificate for Professional Teaching, and an MA in TESOL &
Applied Linguistics. I’ve taught in primary, secondary and university posts, teaching English through

I hold two Bachelor’s Degrees: in English as an Applied Modern Language as well as in Operations Management. I also have a Master’s Degree in International Shipping.
Translator, I speak 4 languages (English, French, German, and Turkish) and I have 12 years of experience teaching EAL & English within the context of literature. My areas of expertise are grammar, parsing, reading/listening comprehension and writing. I’ve worked with several bilingual & international schools in Chiang Mai and I’m beyond excited for this new opportunity at NIS! In my free time, I enjoy going on long walks in nature, doing yoga, dancing and cooking.
I believe that learning is a personal process unique to each. I’m enthusiastic about understanding each student’s specific needs in order to help them build confidence for clear and effective communication through innovative & comprehensive learning methods that promote strong fundamentals, curiosity, ease and fun. "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." - T. Roosevelt. And we build up from there, fostering kindness and consistency in our classroom and beyond.

I have been teaching primary and secondary for eight years throughout the UK, Cambodia and the Philippines and I now have Thailand to welcome into my repertoire.

In my education, I received a Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Linguistics with American Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, then went on to complete my PGCE at the University of Warwick in the UK and gained my NQT. I am currently halfway through my MA in Education with the University of Northampton as well.

I am a passionate educator and an excellent facilitator of learning, establishing good classroom routines and interesting pedagogical techniques for students to engage with. I believe strongly in holistic education, inquiry and inclusivity, and I am a strong supporter of learning from one another's culture, religion and life experiences through discussions and debates.

Outside of teaching, I have an eclectic variety of interests and hobbies including miniature model making, comic book writing, hiking, and playing video games, to name but a few.

I grew up near San Francisco, California in the United States. I studied International Relations and Spanish at University of the Pacific, and studied for six months in Quito, Ecuador while I was in college.

After graduating from college, I taught English in Tulancingo, Mexico to people of all ages. When I came back to California, I taught classes for soon-to-be US citizens to help them prepare for their citizenship exam. I then received a scholarship to teach English in universities in Colombia for two years, and afterwards I taught for four years at a bilingual school in Pereira, Colombia, teaching both middle school science and high school social studies.

I am so excited to meet my new students and fellow teachers at NIS. I love seeing students come out of their shell and explore topics that interest them the most. Outside of the classroom, I love music, playing guitar, cooking, and salsa dancing. I can’t wait to join the NIS community and get to know all of you!

I have proudly served as a Mathematics educator at Nakornpayap International School for both Middle School and High School levels since 2008. My academic journey includes a Bachelor's degree in pure Mathematics, along with a Master's degree in Statistics and a secondary Master's degree in education administration.

My deep-seated passion lies in nurturing a genuine understanding of mathematics among my students. Guiding them to grasp the essence of math is not just a profession but a source of immense joy for me. I firmly believe in the enchanting and enjoyable nature of mathematics, which fuels my dedication to instill this very sentiment in each of my students. My relentless efforts are aimed at fostering a shared appreciation for the subject, enabling my students to embark on a journey of mathematical discovery with the same enthusiasm that drives me.

I joined NIS in 2022 as a High School Mathematics Teacher. I grew up in China and earned my bachelor's degree in Physics and Engineering. I always dreamed of becoming a teacher, so I chose to study secondary education when I went to the United States. After completing my master's program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I taught Algebra1, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus at Baraboo High School as a long-term substitute teacher. In 2021, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona, and became a 7th Grade math teacher at Empower College Prep. Being a teacher is a noble job, and I appreciate every opportunity to serve my students and their families. 

I’m originally from the Philippines and I have completed my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education with a major in General Science from University of Mindanao in the Philippines then earned my Master’s in Education degree thereafter. It is my pleasure to be in the field of teaching for fifteen years now.

I was teaching at major English Program schools in Thailand for thirteen years before I moved to the United States and worked as a High School Science teacher in Charleston, South Carolina for two years where I earned my teaching certification and license in the state of South Carolina in the areas of Middle Level and High School Science.

I am excited to move to Chiang Mai to join our wonderful NIS community and share my international teaching experiences. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed and it is my goal to create a positive and supportive learning environment.

I am a chemistry and physical science teacher with a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Chemistry, as well as a Master of Education. These degrees have helped me develop a strong foundation in both the subject matter and teaching techniques.

In my classroom, I often use project-based learning. I find that hands-on activities make science more interesting and easier to understand. Students can see how what they learn in the classroom connects to the real world.

I work with other teachers and students who are eager to learn. We share ideas and help each other, creating a positive and supportive environment. This teamwork makes teaching and learning more enjoyable and effective.

I also believe in keeping up with new ways of teaching. By learning about and using modern methods, I can give my students the best possible education.

The different backgrounds and cultures of the students and teachers in our school add to the learning experience. We learn from each other and grow together. Our goal is to help students think clearly and solve problems, skills that will help them succeed in science and many other areas of life.

In the classroom, my main goal is to help my students master the practical aspects of the Chinese language and understand the diverse culture of China. I love making my classes interesting and enjoyable for them, so they can feel the charm of the Chinese language. I'm passionate about teaching, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my love for Chinese language and culture with my students at NIS. Their enthusiasm for learning motivates me every day, and I'm excited to continue this wonderful journey together."

I come from Santiago, the capital of Chile. I am here to teach Spanish and to learn from all of you. I've been living abroad since 2016, first in Australia and now in Thailand. I initially worked in a language institute here in Chiang Mai, teaching Spanish and English for all ages. After I worked at Sarasas Witaed Lanna School for nearly 3 years. My experience there was wonderful and I learned about the Thai education system and culture.

I am a very social person and I love team sports, especially Basketball and Soccer. I’m definitely down for hiking, camping, or any other outdoor activity. My heart has always been with my students and now I have the opportunity to share my native language with NIS family. I am very excited to start this new year teaching, learning and having fun.

I have taught High School and Middle School music at Nakornpayap International School since August 2009. I have been the Assistant Principal since 2022. I have a Bachelor of Music degree from St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia, Canada, and a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I feel strongly about making positive relationships with all our students and creating an environment that fosters a positive attitude toward learning and an appreciation of the Arts.

I grew up in the Green Mountains of Vermont, USA and graduated from The University of Vermont in 2009 with a BA in International Studies and a minor in Fine Art.  I attended the Upper Valley Educators Institute and received my certification in both Elementary and Art Education. 

I began my teaching career in Grade 4 at Walt Disney Elementary, one of Chicago’s most prominent magnet schools, before transitioning to the art room at the Frances C. Richmond Middle School in Hanover, NH. Over my six years at Richmond, I was the lead art teacher and spearheaded their digital arts and 3D printing program. In addition to teaching, I am an active illustrator and I also spent several years as a magazine editor and graphic designer. 

As the art teacher it is my pleasure to share the joys of art with our creative, talented elementary students. I believe in exposing our students to as many different techniques and media as possible, so that each child is able to connect with the art form that most speaks to them. I also work to build up their confidence and help our students move beyond their missteps and realize that not being perfect is fine and that making mistakes is just part of the artistic process! In fact, happy accidents can often lead us in new and wonderful directions.

Hello NIS families! I am so excited to be joining the team as the Elementary Music Teacher for the 2023/2024 school year! I was born and spent most of my life in the northern part of England. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Songwriting from The University of Sussex, and spent many years working as a professional musician in the recording industry.
After time spent working in an arts center in London, I became impassioned by teaching and turned my attention and career focus towards it. I moved to Thailand in 2021 and began teaching Grade 4 as a Homeroom Teacher before moving to a Bangkok-based International School where I was the sole Music and Drama teacher for Pre-school up to Secondary school.
I have been embracing every moment of my time in Thailand and have been met with open and loving arms by an incredible country. I am excited by my next steps in moving to Chiang Mai to join the NIS team and bring out the flair and creativity of the wonderful students in Elementary.
When I am not teaching, I am an avid football fan, regular cycler, and collect and shoot film on vintage cameras. I am looking forward to this academic year and learning all about the students and yourselves too.

I have been working at Nakornpayap International School since March 2015. I have a Bachelor of Education degree in Physical Education from Rajabhat University, Chiang Mai. I also completed an Associate Degree in Physical Education from the Physical Education Institute, Chiang Mai and completed graduate-level coursework in Non-formal Education at Chiang Mai University. Before coming to NIS, I worked for ten years as a teacher at non-profit organizations educating underprivileged children. Through my years as a teacher and sports coach, I believe that physical education and sports have the power to motivate and transform children’s experience at school. Sports challenges students to push their limits and work together as a team to achieve a shared goal and vision. As students grow up and enter the real world, they will always be working in teams and the foundation from team sports will help them be successful in any environment.
