Hello Fellow Educators! My name is Karin Goodine. I am a 5th grade teacher at Walker Elementary in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I most admit...i am a pretty awesome teacher! I am one who takes initiative. I am dedicated to the service of others. I am enthusiastic, creative, patient, respectful and kind, but above all else, i would have to say, my greatest attribute is my heart. I truly care about all people, but most importantly I care about the well-being of my students. I love teaching and it is important to me that I have a positive impact on our future leaders. That is why I teach! Why do you teach?
