Berlin Public Schools is a great place to work. The staff in the schools become like family. The staff is supported by administration and valued as professionals. They push us to become better as teachers and learners. Berlin Public Schools provides professional development to help foster their teachers as life-long learners.

Why I Teach
I teach to make a difference in the lives of my students! The relationships I form with my students is what drives me everyday. Each day I take the time to connect with my students and let them know that someone cares. I see each day as a new day, regardless of what happened the day before. I work to create positive, supportive relationships with my students because no significant learning can occur without a significant relationship.
