Catherine Marquet Elliott has spent her adult life teaching French in a public school in Massachusetts.  Listen as she describes her journey form a young teacher who set out to teach French to a master teacher who realizes the classroom experience is about changing lives and helping young people transform.  Catherine thinks about the classroom and her students in a wholistic and inspirational way.  
While this is a valuable conversation for everyone, it is particularly important for young people who might be thinking about becoming a teacher.  Catherine makes a powerful case for transforming the lives of students one class at a time.
Here is how Catherine describes herself:  "I am a career classroom teacher in a public middle school. I have been teaching French in rural Massachusetts since 1989. Becoming a public school teacher is the best decision I have made in my life. It's been an incredible ride. If you know a young person who is interested in becoming a teacher, I hope that you will encourage them with enthusiasm."
