CONVERSATION SEGMENT

Haley Moehlis is the Outreach Coordinator for ICTE. She has been an English teacher for twelve years and teaches at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Des Moines. She teaches Advanced Placement Literature and English 2 (sophomores).

A special thanks to Missy Springsteen-Haupt, Jessica Cakrasenjaya, JoAnn Gage, Ginny Seibert, Jennifer Paulsen, Allison Berryhill, and Brenna Griffin for their contributions to the Why I Love Being an English Teacher segment. It’s evident their students are lucky to share a classroom with them.
