Teach for America is an organization that recruits college graduates to teach in inner city schools. Sean taught at Olney High School where he taught statistics and algebra. He also taught statistics at school called Nueva Esperanza, as well as pre calculus and algebra.
Sean thinks that all teachers should teach problem solving. “People face problems everyday and having critical thinking skills helps them make wise decisions,” said Sean. He loves being a teacher because he can watch kids figure out things and not give up.
In his free time, Sean enjoys cooking, taking care of his son, hiking, listening to music, planning things for the kids to do in class, and playing board games. He lives with his wife, Kelilah Miller, his son, Gabe, and his cat, Jeffrey. In his years of teaching he has learned to be patient with his students, and with himself. Teaching takes a lot of patience.
