Kari Ifland
“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”
This Winston Churchill quote guides Jessica R. Hickman-Zaunbrecher’s philosophy of teaching. Zaunbrecher, Agriscience teacher at Merryville High School, believes that communication, trust, and a positive attitude are the key elements for a successful relationship, including that between a teacher and a student.
“Agriculture science teachers wear many hats, engaging students, parents, colleagues, and administrators in promoting student success,” she said. “Building and maintaining positive relationships provides the foundation necessary to help my students succeed.”
Zaunbrecher is the daughter of educators who instilled in her the values of honesty, respect, kindness, and personal responsibility. She learned the importance of a good education and believes that education truly is the cornerstone for future success.
