UTeach Fine Arts Alumni Spotlight-Haley Kim
UTeach Alum Haley Kim was featured on the Leander ISD website on how she forms connections with her students as a first-year art teacher at Naumann Elementary School. “It’s so important to build connections with the students,” Kim said. “As an art teacher who only sees them once a week for 50 minutes, it can be a challenge. By giving students the opportunity to share about themselves every class, I start to know them and their interests — and I love that.” To read the full feature click here. We are always so proud of our alums’ work; well done, Haley!
