University of Tennessee graduate Kady Amundson’s days rarely end when school is over. At the start of her Teach for America assignment, her school faced administrative and scheduling difficulties. But that didn’t stop Kady: she became a tutor and cheerleader to a 19 year old struggling to graduate senior year for the third time, and Kady is now in her third year of teaching. How’d she overcome the early hurdles that so many TFA teachers face?

Kady’s video exemplifies the success you can have as a teacher when you work diligently to get to know your students on a personal level. I commend her for not giving up on Brittany - and certainly scores of others - who deal with struggles outside of school, which ultimately create barriers in the classroom. We need more teachers like Kady in our schools. Let’s hope she decides to stay in the profession.
