Hi, my name is Elena Sissell and I am a 2022 graduate from Clark’s CYES program with a minor in sociology. I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember, in fact when I was home, in Media, PA, during quarantine I found a scrap book my daycare teacher had made me when I was four. She had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I answered “a mom, a teacher, or a cashier.” While I no longer have all of the same dreams from when I was four, being a teacher still stands. Clark’s CYES program has not only taught me how to be a teacher, but how to think critically about the education system. For my thesis research I investigated the idea of disruption in the classroom and how students are labeled inaccurately.
