Meet Jana Lane: Our Teacher of the Year
Congratulations to Mrs. Lane for being chosen teacher of the year!! Mrs. Lane is a newly wed. She and her husband, David, got married last year. She has two children, Reagan and Hayden. She graduated from Georgia Teach with a Bachelor's Degree in International Affairs, and then attend Georgia College for her Masters in the Art of Teaching. She has been teaching for 16 years. Who inspired her to become a teacher? Her high school teachers supported her and helped her to become a great writer, taking her to trips for conferences, conducting practice interviews with her for jobs and helping her navigate the college process. "Because of that, I wanted to help others navigate the transition from high school to college." What does she like most about her job? "I love how teenagers can be forgiving if you make mistakes and I love seeing how students have 'aha' moments when a difficult concept finally clicks."
In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, planting vegetables, cooking interesting foods, and reading. One of her favorite memories of her high school days was when she had a really big scholarship interview at a fancy restaurant and "I had no idea how to follow the manners - which fork do I use? How do I butter my bread?" A friend from high school sat beside her and did everything just right so she could see what to do. "We did not know each other well, but he is my best friend today." She traveled to Paris on her honeymoon last year and "it was amazing." She plans to visit Seattle in the fall. Currently her favorite author is Louise Penny. She writes mysteries set in a small town in Canada. Her favorite sports team? "I'm a pretty big MP Bulldog fan myself." Her mom is her role model --"she grew up in very difficult circumstances but provided an amazing home for my family and she has always been my biggest fan."
What are 3 things on her bucket list? "traveling to see the Pyramids, eating at a Michelin Starred Restaurant, and vising Iceland." |
