Putterman, a graduate of Cheltenham High school, is one of the newest math teachers in E-Pod. Putterman went to Penn State University, where she got her Bachelor&#8217;s degree in Secondary Math.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to be a math teacher in Central Bucks School District before I started teaching here,\u201d Putterman said.<\/p>\n<p>It is Putterman\u2019s second year teaching, but her first year at North Penn. She was hired during the summer of 2021. So far, she\u2019s felt a warm welcome from our school and has been getting used to a new normal since last year. The last year certainly has challenged Putterman, but she is staying strong and figuring out how to navigate her newest teaching position.<\/p>\n<aside>\n    <div class='pullquote sno-pullquote-6a2351597915f sno-animate pullquote-shadow'>\n                <div class=\"quotebody\">\n                        <div class='largequote'>&ldquo;<\/div>\n                                    <p class='pullquotetext'>No two days are the same on the job.

Her students come into class every day with energy and questions ready to learn, which is one of the reasons she loves teaching.
