Steven S. Rogers - Teachers Make a Difference

The speaker reflects on the significant impact of three elementary school teachers from Lewis Champlain Elementary School in Chicago. These teachers, Mr. Shannon, Mr. Broyles, and Mr. McDowell, were not only intellectually brilliant but also served as strong role models. Mr. McDowell, in particular, used innovative methods to engage students, such as encouraging them to read the Chicago Tribune daily. The speaker feels blessed to have had such influential teachers throughout their educational journey.
