After meeting our Teacher Pay It Forward winners, one thing becomes clear right away: their nominations come from a place of real admiration. India James, a teacher at Langston Chapel Elementary School, is no exception. Her calm, steady presence and the heart she brings to her students are exactly why she was recently named her school’s Teacher of the Year. Today, she shares—in her own words—who she is as a teacher. It’s easy to understand why her school community celebrates her. Congratulations
