Why I Became a Teacher

Rebecca Missler (AK '19)

"I was pursuing a master’s degree in geology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) when I realized I loved being a teaching assistant (TA) and teaching the geology labs. I was also a TA for the amazing Jeff Drake, who was teaching a geology class for elementary education majors. He had so much fun doing experiments and science labs with them, his love for teaching science was contagious!"
