In her own words…
“The biggest
reward in the field of education is that of growth. The look in a child’s eyes
when they fully understand a concept or have mastered a skill is enough reward
in itself. My classroom is a sanctuary for learning. I pride myself in managing
a classroom that is fun, engaging, exciting and full of resources. Dr .Seuss
once said, ‘the more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that
you learn, the more places you’ll go!’ I want my students to go places beyond
their wildest dreams.”
In the words of
others . . .
“Although Ms.
Brand is new to Spring Branch and new to Meadow Wood, Ms. Brand is in her 10th
year as an educator. . . . It is clear when you see her in action that she is
teaching “children” and not merely the content. She provides her students with
structure, love, acceptance and grace, and treats each child as an individual.
”
– Pamela Redd, Meadow Wood
Elementary Principal
“Ms.
Brand is unlike any teacher I’ve ever had. And really . . . she is more than a
teacher. She is a friend to these kiddos at a very transformative time in their
life. She truly loves what she does, and we are blessed that our daughter’s
first step into the “big kid” world was via Ms. Brand’s class.”
