By Charlotte Underwood

JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Educators make a difference in students’ lives every day. For many students, having a school employee who cares and goes that extra mile can be the difference in a successful education and graduation. We’ve all had that teacher, or school employee who inspired us or helped in some way. That’s why WLAF and Eagle Tire Pros salute all of our hardworking educators with a weekly feature.

Brandi Bowman is Eagle Tire Pros Educator of the Week. She is an Instructional Assistant at Jacksboro Elementary School.

Bowman is from Jacksboro and attended Campbell County High School.

Outside of school, she said she loves spending time with her family and friends, especially her kids.

She has been in education for two years.

“While I may not be the lead classroom teacher, I have the privilege of working closely with students every single day supporting them academically, encouraging them emotionally, and helping create a positive learning environment,” Bowman said.

She was inspired to work in education because she has “always had a heart for children.”

“I believe every student deserves extra support, patience, and someone who truly cares about their success. Being an assistant allows me to build close relationships with students and give them the one-on-one help they sometimes need to thrive,” Bowman said.

Her favorite part of her job is “seeing students gain confidence.”

“Whether it’s helping them understand a math problem, improve their reading, or simply reminding them that they are capable, those small moments mean everything to me.”

Every Thursday, WLAF’s Charlotte Underwood features the WLAF – Eagle Tire Pros teacher of the week. That educator also receives a free oil change from Eagle Tire Pros.
