On a new Teachers’ Lounge, it’s Lisa Felker. She’s an art and music teacher at Morris Elementary School. She’s taught everything from Kindergarten, P.E., reading intervention, the list goes on and on. Oh yeah, she’s also Peter’s mom. No, seriously! We talked about why she chose education, substitute teaching in the same building as her child, changing careers in her 40s and much more.
