lisa lopez for blogMs. Lopez says that her greatest satisfaction in her early career has been the enthusiasm all of her students when it comes to learning. "They are so excited to learn new things in every subject. Knowing that my students enjoy learning has been one of my greatest satisfactions as well as one of my challenges. As a new educator, my biggest challenge has been providing the educational tools students need in order to achieve in the classroom. Most of my students had come to school on the first day with only half of their school supplies. This has been a challenge because of the limited resources available to students and how to obtain these tools to assist with their learning needs."

Ms. Lopez notes that Northwest Professional Educators can best support her in the classroom and raise the professionalism of teaching as a career by helping her understand what she can do to help support the needs of her students. "NWPE is a respected organization that is committed to staying focused on what is best for the students. Therefore, having organizations that put students at the highest priority can help educators gain ideas on how to be the best educator they can be."

Congratulations again to Ms. Lopez!  We look forward to helping her be the best educator possible!
