Dr. Pat Austin reads from her memoir and speaks on her life as a teacher and the impact of teachers everywhere.
Are you considering teaching?

Her writing conveys the emotion, accomplishment, and meaning of a lifelong dedication to reading and teaching.
Afterward, Pat will answer your questions about everything you've ever wanted to know of the life of an educator but were afraid to, or haven't had the opportunity to ask.
