Tammy Irminger has spent 20 years in education, from teaching third, fourth, and sixth grade to serving as a librarian at MacArthur Elementary School on the Fort Leavenworth military base. With a passion for literacy and creating meaningful connections with students, she’s built a career centered on helping every child feel seen, supported, and inspired to learn. 

In this episode, Tammy shares how she builds strong relationships in a school community where students often move, encourages reluctant readers to fall in love with books, and maintains high expectations while creating a family-like classroom environment. Her insights offer heartfelt lessons for educators at every stage of their career.
