Here’s what Amanda had to say about Jordan:
–
What sets this teacher apart from others? He is willing to go above and beyond for his students, he teaches in ways that reaches all students. He personally helps students, even after school hours.
–
What is one thing this teacher does that is not in their job description but they do it anyway to help you or your child? When I attended North, he would sit with me before school began and counsel me, helped me through a lot of my problems. Also he truly helps students come out of their shells.
–
Give an example of a way this teacher has helped or impacted you or your child. He helped me before me social and outgoing in school, he helped me through some tough times in my life. He was a great teacher and even better friend.
