You’ve probably felt the pull, maybe at the end of the day as you sink into a favorite chair and start scrolling.

As an elementary gifted education teacher, I've always been deeply passionate about providing my students with opportunities that extend beyond the traditional classroom walls.

That's why when I discovered HirePaths, I knew it was a great opportunity for me and my classroom.
I’m Jennifer Kesler, and I teach second grade at Stockton Grade School in Stockton, Kansas. We are a small 1A rural school in north central Kansas. I was chosen to serve as a HirePaths Teacher Ambassador for the 2023-2024 academic year. I am excited to share how HirePaths inspired me as an educator as well as the students in my class.
Being the Title Teacher at my elementary school in Russell, I work primarily with students (second through fifth grade) on reading intervention skills and supporting teachers with testing and instruction. During this school year, I have worked to be more mindful of not only giving my students reading intervention but also having some of our focus be incorporated with discussion over careers and life after high school.
