CMS October G.O.A.T. Award Winner Interview:
Meet Mrs. Derrer
1. Do you think you deserve the GOAT award? I’m not sure how to answer that, there are so many awesome teachers in this school!
2. When did you start teaching? I started 19 years ago.
3. What was your favorite subject in school? Math. But it wasn’t my easiest subject!
4. Why did you become a teacher? I love kids and helping people, and especially love helping them learn.
5. What do you miss about being in school? When I got to talk to my friends. If you don’t believe me, ask Mrs. Goff!
6. What is your favorite math problem? Any algebra problem.
7. Do you do any hobbies? I do quite a few! My favorite is ceramics. I also coach softball, volleyball, and basketball.
8. What is the best thing about being a teacher? To give students the confidence they have inside of them.
9. When did you start thinking you wanted to be a teacher? In 8th grade.
10. What is your favorite student story? A student that I don’t think likes math, or school in general, writes me a letter saying they liked my class a couple years down the road.
11. Tell us about your family. I have three children. Mylanah, who goes to IMSA, Landon, who loves sports, and Ellah, she loves to write stories and sew. My husband Ryan builds houses and has his own business. We have been married for 15 years!
12. What is a fun fact not many people know about you? I graduated school a year early. I started kindergarten at 4 and graduated at 17.
