Winifred H. Dyer Memorial<br />
Endowed <strong>Scholarship</strong><br />
Why are you interested in teaching?<br />
I come from a family <strong>of</strong> educators. In my late twenties, I<br />
realized it was inevitable that I choose a career in education.<br />
When I moved back to Salt Lake seven years ago, it was a<br />
natural choice for me to enroll in an alternative teacher<br />
preparation program for special education. After nearly five<br />
years as an elementary school Resource teacher I became the<br />
504 Coordinator for our district. I enjoy working with school<br />
leaders in all 39 <strong>of</strong> our schools. Now in my second year <strong>of</strong> the<br />
ELP program, I am more excited that ever to become a catalyst<br />
for change within our educational system by creating vibrant,<br />
equitable schools.<br />
