“You never forget the teacher who makes a difference.” So many of our lives have changed or our futures influenced because of a teacher.
That’s why a select group of teachers in Central Pennsylvania are honored each year with a Teacher Impact Award.
WITF and Rotary 7390 presented the 2022 Teacher Impact Awards last week.
Two of the award winners are on Tuesday’s Smart Talk to discuss what their goals in the classroom, what makes them unique and what influenced them.
Joining us are Rosario Eppley, who teaches Spanish at Susquenita High School and Michael Bricker, a drawing, painting and photography teacher at Central Dauphin High School.
You can watch the Teacher Impact Awards television special on WITF TV June 23 at 8 p.m.
