Fontini Moore

I am a Greek immigrant and my parents always emphasized education since they both were illiterate. I have always dreamed of being a teacher so I could help students achieve their goals. I currently teach social studies in an urban high school in downtown Indianapolis. I love teaching high school students as they are so eager to learn and get into the world. I try to provide them with tools that will help my inner city students understand that they can overcome any obstacle with the proper education. I am a social studies teacher but I also wear many different hats to help all my students succeed. I try to teach my students that their environments and sometimes tough backgrounds don't define them. I am currently completing my masters program in Education Leadership as I feel this is the next level I need to be to provide new exceptional pathways for my students. I want to begin working with students from a new perspective, different level, and hopefully this will provide more opportunities for them to succeed once they graduate and proceed to their lives beyond high school.
