WOW Wednesday: Corechia Sanders
This week’s WOW Wednesday spotlight shines on Corechia Sanders, 7th and 8th Grade ELA Teacher at Utica Elementary Middle School, who has served Hinds County School District for four years.
Ms. Sanders brings F.L.E.X. to life by creating meaningful learning experiences that help students see literacy as more than reading a text and answering questions. Through technology, collaboration, discussion, creative projects, and authentic writing opportunities, she encourages students to use their voices, think critically, and connect what they learn to the world around them.
Her passion for education was inspired by her own high school English teacher, who helped her fall in love with writing and showed her the lasting impact a teacher can have. Today, Ms. Sanders strives to provide that same kind of influence for her students.
Building relationships is also at the heart of her classroom. She wants every student to feel seen, heard, supported, and respected while being challenged to reach their full potential. For Ms. Sanders, some of the most rewarding moments are seeing students master a difficult skill, discover confidence in their voice, or realize they are capable of more than they thought.
Her “why” for choosing Hinds County is rooted in serving students and making a meaningful difference in the community.
“I want my students to leave my classroom with stronger literacy skills, greater confidence, and the belief that they can accomplish their goals.”
That’s Working On the Work. That’s WOW Wednesday!
WOW Wednesday: Geonna Marshall
This week’s WOW Wednesday spotlight shines on Geonna Marshall, a teacher at Bolton-Edwards Elementary Middle School, who has served Hinds County School District for two years.
Ms. Marshall brings F.L.E.X. to life by remaining flexible, learning through challenges, and finding creative ways to help her students succeed. In her classroom, she uses engaging lessons, technology, and small-group instruction to meet students where they are and support their continued growth.
Her decision to become an educator was rooted in a desire to make a difference in the lives of students. Seeing their growth and progress continues to motivate her and reminds her why the work matters.
For Ms. Marshall, building strong relationships is an important part of creating a classroom where every student can thrive. She leads with love, respect, and encouragement while making sure each student knows they are valued.
Her “why” for choosing Hinds County is simple: to serve her community, inspire students, and help every child reach their full potential.
“Seeing their growth and progress keeps me motivated.”
That’s Working On the Work. That’s WOW Wednesday!
