HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER

Julie Moses,

Amanda Cogswell

Teacher Julie Moses, originally from Iowa, has been an educator at Horizon Honors Elementary School for 15 years. She has worked with third and fourth grade children throughout her entire career. Prior to her time at Horizon Honors, she taught in South Korea for one year. Moses strives to create a calm presence in the learning environment so students feel safe to be themselves. “As a teacher, I love to challenge my students academically as well as helping to guide my students toward being their best selves,” she said. “Seeing students interact with one another using the tools they are being taught in real life situations is very rewarding.”

A native Arizonan, high school teacher Amanda Cogswell has been sharing her understanding of math and brightening the lives of Valley students for 14 years. Her journey in education began at ASU, obtaining two master’s degrees in teaching as well as completing three years of PhD work for instructional leadership. She has spent the last ﬁve years teaching at Desert Vista High School. According to Cogswell, she has “always wanted to be a teacher” and loves the supportive community at Desert Vista. “Being able to help my students, encourage them, motivate them or just be there to listen — that’s the best part about teaching,” she said. “I always tell my students I don’t love math, I just love teaching. I love being able to be a part of their lives. So having that, being around them and seeing their development, that’s deﬁnitely the most rewarding.”
