Elizabeth Basinger has been nominated as one of the Teachers of the Month for April. Basinger was nominated by a handful of her senior students for being an amazing teacher and person. She has been teaching for 18 years, 7 of which have been at ADM. Basinger decided to become an English teacher because of a very impactful English teacher she had when she was in school, who influenced her and she wanted to become that person for young people. When asked what being a Teacher of the Month means to her she said “I feel very honored and feel like I’m doing something right.”
“What I love most about what and who I teach is that what we do in all three of the classes I have is give kids the opportunity to find their voice and use it. There is not much else as important, regardless of what you decide to do in your future, that is as important as knowing what you think and using your voice.” -Elizabeth Basinger
