Why I Teach Future Teachers. “I teach to ensure that every child who is deaf or hard of hearing can achieve their goals through language and literacy. I am hard of hearing, and I was proud to serve as a role model for my students when I worked as a classroom and itinerant teacher of the deaf. Now a university faculty member, I train the next generation of educators and scholars who will continue to revolutionize the field of deaf and hard of hearing education,” Elaine Smolen, Ph.D., Visiting Assistant Professor, Columbia University, OSEP Scholar, Columbia University, 2020.

I had the opportunity to sit down and have a real conversation with teachers about what they need and how I can support them. Teachers, I have your back for #TeacherAppreciationWeek and every week after.

Teachers: Every student who has experienced the joy of an 💡 “AHA!” moment couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for creating those magical moments that turn uncertainty into understanding, and confusion into clarity. ✨ #TAW23 #TeacherAppreciationWeek #ThankATeacher

Jennifer: My mother, Lissa, was the best teacher I've ever had! Plus, she taught K-6th for 36 years before her retirement! She has gone above & beyond to see that every child has been well taken care of educationally, physically & mentally! There won't ever be a teacher as great as she is or was!

President Biden: What a great teacher. I can't let this day go without celebrating the one teacher that inspires me every day – my wife, Jill.

Jennifer: Thank you so much for your response, President Biden! My mother is going to be thrilled to read this conversation that we have shared!
