This week's WTOC-TV Top Teacher is Liz Henke of Risen Savior Christian Academy in Pooler. Henke's goal is to reach young children beyond a given day’s lesson. You focus on the academics, but it’s also about the whole child. You must teach the emotional and social things as well. They love school, so they come in and they’re ready to learn right away, which I love. And they love you, so you never have to worry ... when their sad, they give you a hug. When you’re sad, they gi...ve you a hug. They just love learning and that makes my teaching even better. Congratulations on being named a WTOC Top Teacher, Ms. Henke! Georgia Ports is honored to partner with WTOC to recognize local educators. #GeorgiaPorts #gaports #topteacher #wtoctopteacher #wtoc #education #teachers #school WTOC Mike Cihla
