Currently, Kueppers leads eight centers in Western Michigan and oversees 327 students and approximately 80 certified teachers, who provide tutoring services to K-12 students and veterans.&nbsp;In the interview, Kueppers noted she knew from a very young age she wanted to be an elementary school teacher, but after student teaching in college, she redefined her goals and expectations on how to educate children. While she was student teaching, Kueppers realized she didn’t like the “politics” of teaching.“You can’t build the relationships in the classroom as easily when you are working with 30 to 40 students at a time,” she said. “You can’t hit as many students where they are at, and that is the expectation our teachers have today. It is being able to hit every single individual student’s needs, while still managing the classroom and hitting the standards.”In April 2014, Kueppers was randomly looking online for director positions and found out that a director position was open at the Traverse City Sylvan Learning. The next day, she had a phone interview, and a week later the job was hers.To read the full article, click <a href="https://grbj.com/features/inside-track/inside-track-teacher-finds-her-own-way-of-educating-students/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=grand-rapids-business-journal-teacher-finds-her-own-way-of-educating-students-2715728" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here.</a>
