Meet Theresa Costigan
Teacher Ambassador
A source of inspiration for me is the sense of curiosity and wonder that kids bring to the classroom. They are naturally curious about the world around them, and their questions and enthusiasm for learning are infectious. It's a privilege to nurture their curiosity and guide them in discovering new knowledge and skills.

Why I Teach
I teach at my school because it's a fantastic place to work. The autonomy to innovate in my teaching methods is a big reason. I appreciate the support and inspiration from my colleagues and the school's commitment to student success. My colleagues are some of the most incredible educators that I have ever seen. It's a collaborative and empowering environment that helps me grow as an educator and I continue to learn every day.
