Why I Became a Teacher
August 14, 2020
Dan Willever (NJ '19)
"I don’t think there is one specific factor or moment I can point to in my life. I have always enjoyed working with younger people, helping them in any way that I can. Teaching is just a more formal version of that, really. I also am passionate about history and social sciences, and for me the best way to act on my passion is to share it with others. Beyond that, I have a deeply rooted philosophy that public education and social studies education are so very important if our country and our world are going to thrive. That’s what is at the forefront of my mind as I’m getting to work every morning."
