Meet Mrs. Joanna Dennis
Mrs. Dennis loves what she does. She sees her role as part teacher and part cheerleader for each one of her students. She believes deeply in every child and has a knack for helping them learn how to believe in themselves, too.
What I do
I work with students who need a little extra support and attention to thrive. We work in small groups on their skills and materials, but most of all, I help each child learn how to feel successful and proud of themselves.
How I make a difference at YTCTE
I try to get to know all the children at YTCTE, not just the ones I work with. And I never miss an opportunity to incorporate lessons on manners. If we pass a faculty member, I have the students greet them with a smile and say ‘Good morning’ or ‘Good afternoon.’
My favorite part about what I do
When a child accomplishes something they never thought they could. That moment is when they start to believe in themselves, which is so important to their growth, confidence and future success.
Parting Words
There’s such a warm atmosphere at YTCTE! The people I work with are amazing. Everyone really cares about each other.
