For De'Aira Johnson, teaching is a dynamic and reciprocal experience. She finds immense joy in the constant exchange of knowledge between her and her students:

De'Aira's words reflect her commitment to lifelong learning and growth. She embraces every teaching moment as an opportunity to learn from her students, gaining new perspectives and insights. This mutual learning fosters a vibrant, engaging classroom environment where teachers and students thrive.

Creating a Safe Haven: Candace Cannon

Candace Cannon - Why Our Orlando Teachers Love to Teach

Candace Cannon's journey into teaching is deeply personal and driven by a desire to provide what she felt was missing during her childhood:

"Why do I love teaching? I honestly feel that the job chose me. I remember that, as a child, no one took the time to listen and understand. I want to help improve a child's life (education), even if it's only 8 hours a day. I get to give a safe haven away from home, the many different characters, conversations, and having fun while learning. I guess you can say the impact I get to leave is life-changing." - Candace Cannon, Expanding Minds Academy Teacher


Candace's heartfelt commitment to creating a safe and nurturing environment for her students is truly inspiring. She understands the importance of being a supportive and attentive presence in her students' lives. By offering a haven, Candace provides a space where children can express themselves, explore new ideas, and feel valued. Her ability to connect with her students personally fosters a sense of trust and encourages them to engage deeply in their learning.

For Vantreice Mills, teaching is about much more than just imparting knowledge. It's about inspiring change and instilling a lifelong love for learning in her students:

Vantreice's philosophy highlights the profound impact that caring and passionate teachers can have on their students. She believes that educators can inspire their students to develop a passion for learning by demonstrating a genuine love for teaching. This approach transforms the classroom into a place of inspiration and growth, encouraging students to pursue their interests and dreams enthusiastically.
