This Teacher Happily Wears Many Hats

by Miquela Daniels May 29, 2013
written by Miquela Daniels May 29, 2013

In life, I wear many hats, but the one that is always on is my combo wife-mother-teacher hat, and although I haven’t always been the first two, I have always been a teacher.

I started holding class in the basement of my West Point home, where my father taught. Today, I have many more students but the same amount of fun. I love my life, and believe every child should experience a happy and satisfied teacher.

My husband and I have six very talented and charismatic children. Our oldest son is a gifted junior at Red Mountain High School, and we have a brilliant eighth-grade son at Fremont Junior High School. The four young honor roll kids love their Zaharis Elementary School teachers, and can’t wait to go to school every morning. We watch movies, play football, and eat Sunday morning breakfasts on the patio.

After moving here 20 years ago from Charlotte, N.C., I received a master’s degree in multicultural education at Arizona State University. During this time, I also taught English as a second language and bilingual math at Fremont and Mesa Junior High schools. Years later, I received my master’s in educational technology from Northern Arizona University (NAU), while teaching Spanish at Mesquite High School and the Technology and Leadership Academy, in Gilbert.

To expand my skill set, I taught Spanish and methodology courses for NAU and Maricopa Community colleges. Sometime in between teaching, I worked mortgages, and then finally came back to Mesa, where I now teach the fourth grade.

I am passionate about teaching children to be lifelong readers and writers. The key is finding exceptional literature and being willing to make time to read and write with your kids. I look forward to inspiring and motivating your children this summer at PoeTECH Kidz.
