We are often inspired by teachers like James. Teachers who genuinely care about students wellbeing, both inside and outside the classroom. Below is a quote from James: You can watch more on our Decade of Dignitas video.
“I used think that teaching is teaching. But after coming to Dignitas, I discovered that I can become a champion teacher who is result oriented, helping and transforming the lives of my children.” James
