Davie County Schools

Hear from Pam Cook about giving students a voice in their education at Davie County Schools.

Meet Pam Cook

Teacher Ambassador

Davie County Schools is a great place to teach! After working in many school systems for over 30 years, I have found our system to be the best! Teachers have autonomy and choices in how to facilitate the needs of our students in our classrooms while upholding standards. The county is rich in resources within the school system and the community. Parents and businesses support the local schools, and most importantly, administration supports the teachers.

Why I Teach

Walk into my classroom and you will see students engaged in small communities of 6-8 students. Sit down with these students and you will hear discussions led by a community leader. Listen as students analyze and discuss problems that literature imposes upon real-life situations and you will understand the importance of giving students a voice in the classroom. Because I believe in giving students a voice in their opportunity to learn, I teach. Not only do I teach students the curriculum, but I teach students to have a voice in their education.
