Spider-Man's James Franco admires
high school teacher Ester Wojcicki for treating
her journalsim students like true professionals.
“She showed me that I could take my dreams
as seriously as I wanted,” he recalls.
Esther loves to inspire her students:
“Some students are afraid they cannot succeed,
but if the teacher believes in them, they
will believe in themselves.”s
Behind every famous person is a fabulous teacher.
Teaching Where You’re Needed Most
The greatest teaching shortages are in bilingual and special education, mathematics,
science (particularly the physical sciences), computer science, English as a Second Language
and foreign languages. In addition, teachers of color are in high demand.
