Campus Teacher of the Year: Carter Academy

Tyler Matthews

One of Aldine ISD’s campus teachers of the year who will be honored at the [icons icon_name=”icon-external-link” icon_size=”14px”] Teacher of the Year Breakfast on March 7, 2014.

When asked about his teaching philosophy, he responded:

If kids are given a reason to learn, a fire we try so hard to ignite is formed. If we simply feed our kids information the same way every day without revealing the why, creating logical thinkers is lost. I plan to expand my students’ minds by relating information in the classroom to experiences in their lives. The only way this can be achieved is to get to know these children. And for the record, I’m a mentor, coach, encourager, motivator, protector, rock, and friend, not just a teacher.
