Teaching

Substitute teacher

From 2003 to 2007, Kyle worked as a substitute teacher for School City of Mishawaka. With assignments ranging from special needs preschool classrooms to high school calculus, each day presented a new challenge. While most of his experience came on breaks from college, in the spring semester of 2007 he filled a temporary position at John Young Middle School. "Assuming all the duties of a full-time teacher provided me with a new level of respect for what my parents and so many other great teachers do every day," Kyle confides.

Music instructor

Kyle always loved performing and developed a particular affinity for marching band and percussion while in high school. "When I later had the opportunity to share the skills I had learned, I was thrilled," Kyle says. "Serving as an adjunct instructor for both Mishawaka High School and Elkhart Central High School bands, while not always glamorous, was a rewarding experience. To see kids that I had tutored as freshmen graduate four years later as mature young adults solidified in my mind the importance of extra-curricular outlets in a student's personal development."
