SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - “When they know that we love them, we can really connect with them, and we can teach them. I believe in that very strongly.” That is the philosophy of fifth grade teacher Khizran Usman.
Usman started her teaching career at Lakeview Elementary School teaching fifth graders. 20 years later and she is still doing the same thing.
The love she has for her students has come full circle.
“She is the amazing teacher. She is so loving, kind, and compassionate,” said fifth grade student Lyla Johnson.
