Today we’d like to introduce you to Roxann Breyer.
Roxann, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I got started in the education field because of my love of mathematics and being around young people. Students keep me energized and I appreciate the challenge of teaching math to students who struggle with learning. Searching for creative strategies to help students learn would keep me up at night. Over my time at Hill School I have worn many hats-teaching, coaching, facilitating and leading. While I enjoy being the Head of School at Hill, I still need to visit classrooms regularly to feel the joy of learning and working with students.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My job has been fairly smooth. My biggest struggle is to be sure that all students are receiving my best work every day-they deserve it!
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Hill School of Fort Worth – what should we know?
