Why I Teach: Racquel Abowd at TEDx University of Nevada
Racquel Abowd is a teacher in Carson City. In this video, Racquel discusses why she continues to choose to teach. She is joined in this talk by one of her students, Ivan Ramirez.
Abowd is a graduate of Bishop Manogue High School and Colorado State University, where she earned a degree in Marketing and Merchandising. Her business degree led her to work as a merchandising manager for a major retailor and then later in marketing with her brother in his financial planning business. But it was the Teacher’s Education program at Sierra Nevada College where Racquel found her calling to teach.
Racquel is in her 9th year teaching, currently at Carson Montessori School. She balances working full time, being a single mom of 3 active children and being an authentic educator. She is proud of the difference she makes everyday in the lives of her children and students.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.
