“I teach with the ‘see it, be it mentality.’ I believe we need to show students, particularly girls, that their ideas are valid, and they already have the power to make their dreams come true. With curated resources from Discovery Education and their partners, I can empower my students today to become the leaders of tomorrow.”
– Cecilia Wilburn-Davis,
5th grade teacher, 2022 Teacher of the Year, Oakbrook Elementary School (SC)
