"I really believe that we can change the world one child at a time."

34 years deep in public education and Mrs. Thorne still lives that truth every day. 

Mrs. Michelle Thorne, Academic Support Coach at Wasmer Elementary, joins The GIPS Cast to share why teaching is the best way to change the world.  She speaks to the importance of welcoming all students while also providing consistent expectations and how she's seen that approach impact thousands of scholars.  Thorne also reflects on how her unique role allows her to take part in the daily passion of collaborative teaching and mentor staff all throughout the school.  And what the honor of being named 2024 GIPS Specialist of the Year means to her. 

Because it's all about daring to believe that students — thru the influence of dedicated teachers — can achieve great things.
