Ms. Bardwell is an amazing teacher because she truly cares about her students as people, not just grades. She welcomes everyone with open arms and encourages us to do our best. She makes class enjoyable by creating a positive space where I feel comfortable and motivated to learn. She shows she cares by checking in on us and supporting us both in and out of the classroom. Ms. Bardwell helps me become more confident by reminding me of my strengths and pushing me to grow. She also cares about who we become outside of school and how we give back to our community, which makes her a great example of what a teacher should be.
