Liz Kolb - Teachers Make a Difference - Mr. Tabler

The speaker shares their journey from struggling in school to becoming a university professor. Initially disliking school and feeling unintelligent, a pivotal moment came when an 11th-grade teacher, Mr. Tabler, encouraged them to read 'David Copperfield' and create a mix tape instead of a traditional paper. This approach combined their love for music with learning, leading to a newfound confidence and realization of their unique learning style. Inspired by this experience, they pursued a career in education, focusing on helping struggling learners and integrating technology.
