Rebecca Mancil

Seventh ELA and Intervention Specialist
Bachelor or Arts degree in Elementary Education and American Studies from Rider University (New Jersey). Certified in NJ and TN. TOCS since 2014
" I have felt teaching as a calling for years. Starting off as a substitute teacher when my kids entered, it seemed like the perfect career path. However, as a woman of faith, I felt held back during times when the children needed spiritual guidance. I did not wish to bend the rules, but I provided the guidance they needed as I saw fit in The Lord’s eyes. When my husband and I made the decision to send our children to TOCS, I felt The Lord’s calling to apply for employment at the school. During my tenure, I have achieved that perfect balance between working in my desired job field while having the freedom to witness to my students, teach them about Jesus Christ and show them how a woman of God is supposed to act! God is good!"
