“‘Nothing will work unless you do’”, a quote from Maya Angelou that the new 9th grade English teacher Mrs. Heindel keeps on her wall. It shows that hard work pays off, and that is why Mrs. Heindel is here” said Tyler Funke. “I knew I wanted to be in education and I was open to what that might look like. I love what I’m doing and teaching has been a dream of mine” said Mrs. Heindel. “English is what she enjoys teaching most though” said Tyler Funke. “So I really love this content area and books. I love poetry, non fiction, text, fiction. Yeah, I have some background knowledge on that” explained Mrs. Heindel. “She came to Northeastern, and it wasn’t that far of a trip either” said Tyler Funke. “So before teaching here at Northeastern, I taught at Lancaster County Christian School, a private school in Lancaster, and I taught 9th and 10th grade English there for two years. After that, towards the end of my second year, I applied for graduate school at Millersville University and I was awarded graduate assistant-ship, and so for two years, I was a full time graduate assistant there, and that required my full schedule and time. So I left teaching at a private school to become a full time grad student and grad assistant and then after I finished that, I ended up here. I also substitute taught along the way for a couple years” said Mrs. Heindel. “Out of all grades, high school students are her favorite to teach” said Tyler Funke. “I love teaching at the secondary level. As a substitute, I taught kindergarten, first grade, elementary all the way up through high school and I was open to almost anything because I love teaching reading as well as the content area of English. I like teaching reading skills too, which is a really good crossover, those blend together really well. So I enjoy the younger age groups and I was open to that but, I just love secondary level because the level of discussion we can have is so meaningful and already I’ve had days in this classroom where the discussion has just been really good because you can get to a different level of critical thinking with high school kids, so I enjoy that and I like both 9th and 10th grade” exclaimed Mrs. Heindel. “And she is loving everything about Northeastern” said Tyler Funke. “It’s been great meeting everyone, from the administration to the other teachers, staff, everyone is great and it’s been exciting to meet them. I’m really happy here” finished Mrs. Heindel. “Tyler Funke reporting for High Street Media” finished Tyler Funke.
