Profile Written by Student Journalist, Courtney Wilson:

Amanda Yaden, one of the math teachers at New Tech, has been teaching math for 10 years now, went to Old Dominion University for her undergrad, and is currently attending Emporia state University for her math degree. Ms.Yaden says that she was amazed by how the teachers here really strive to have some of the best lessons she has ever seen. As well as stating,” I’m also very impressed with how the students try to step up and really try to go that extra step for their projects by making sure they meet up with each other, and that it’s a very open and supportive school.” When asked if she valued student-teacher relationships she said,  “Yes, I do they that student-teacher relationships are important, because if the students don’t know that the teacher is there to support them and help them, then they’re less likely to come and ask for help in things they don’t know. Meaning there is no growth.” She greatly respects her students and co-workers, and sees a lot of potential at this school.
