DelRae Mullins taught middle school in person and online for nine years, then became an instructional coach and assistant principal. According to Ms. Mullins, “I then found my home in 2022 with Utah Connections Academy as a part of the leadership team.”

Why I Became an Educator

Says Ms. Mullins, “Before embarking on my education career, I gained valuable experience in human resources, which sharpened my communication and interpersonal skills. However, I can confidently say that no career has brought me as much fulfillment, enjoyment, or engagement as that of an educator.”

The Online School Experience at Utah Connections Academy

“One of the aspects I cherish most about my job is observing the moment when teachers and interventionists become truly inspired and enthusiastic,” reports Ms. Mullins. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see their passion as they actively engage with students, guiding them toward those enlightening ‘aha’ moments.”

“I firmly believe that building strong, trusting relationships with students, families, and colleagues is essential for achieving educational success and fostering a positive learning atmosphere.”
