Academy English TeacherLeslie Gabe
Teaching has been my life for the last 33 years.
As I approach the end of my career, I can say
that the Academy experience has been one of the
major highlights. Family is a word that is
often mentioned in connection with the Academy
students, but keeping my students for all three
years has afforded me the opportunity to create
many new families of both students and the
teacher teams I have been blessed to work with.
Whats new in my life?
Reading to my class!
