“Now, more than ever, strong educators are needed in West Virginia. If you want a rewarding career that will make a lifelong impact on others, please consider this wonderful profession.”

“To me, teaching in a rural school with smaller classes, fewer faculty and a more ‘family feel’, has allowed me to really take interest in each individual student.”

“My favorite aspect of my job is being able to build relationships with my students. I want my students to know that someone cares about and believes in them.”

“Regardless of any factors that impact the education system, the need for great teachers is timeless. I personally feel that teaching is a career you can feel confident that you are making a difference and have a purpose.”

“The West Virginia educational system is unique in the ‘small town’ atmosphere of learning. Instructors provide more one-on-one instruction, emotional and social support, and an individualized learning path.”

“The work/school community is so close that there is always support and an opportunity to make life-long impacts on students (and families) in and outside of the classroom.”
