Every year is a great year to celebrate our teachers, but this year has shined a bright light on the flexibility and compassion of our incredible staff.<\/p>\n

Today we’re highlighting Mrs. Kara Wilkinson, an English teacher at Woodrow Wilson Middle School.\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

What motivates you?<\/strong>
\nMy students motivate me. Middle school students are unique, especially sixth graders. The jump from fifth to sixth grade, and from elementary to middle school, is difficult for many students. I am here to be their teacher, but I also want them to feel welcome, safe, and cared for.\u00a0 They make mistakes but as I tell them, mistakes happen to all of us and you learn from them, whether the mistake was social or academic. Mistakes help us grow.<\/p>\n

How has your job changed due to COVID?<\/strong>
\nBecause of COVID, I have learned how to use so much new technology in a short amount of time, and I am still learning.\u00a0 My students love to help me when I can’t figure something out!<\/p>\n

What is something that people don\u2019t understand about your job?<\/strong>
\nMy \u201cjob\u201d doesn\u2019t end when the school day ends.\u00a0 My students and their parents know they can contact me at any time, and I will be there to help them.<\/p>\n

Why do you love VCSC\/your school?<\/strong>
\nI love teaching at Woodrow Wilson. We are a family of administrators, colleagues, and students that supports and cares for each other. I am lucky that my daughter teaches down the hall from me. I have been at WWMS since 2001 and can\u2019t imagine being anywhere else.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check back on\u00a0#<\/span>Staffurday<\/span><\/span>–Saturday, that is–as we recognize members of our non-teaching staff. We’ll continue both campaigns through the end of the school year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
