Immerse yourself in the community, build relationships and make a difference — Washington state 2016 Teacher of the Year, Nate Bowling, illustrates inspiring techniques to stand out from the competition.

“If folks can get what you’re offering from an app, they’re stupid not to. And so every single one of you, if you’re not distinguishing yourself in the marketplace, if you’re not striving to connect with communities and build relationships, you are going to be gone.”

“Activism is what you do every day for yourself, your community and the same goes for your clients.” – Team Diva
