About Professor Wiren:
Rachel Wiren taught high school English for 12 years – five in Minnesota and seven in New York – before coming to the English and Education Departments of BBC. In those years of teaching in Christian schools, Miss Wiren was involved in many activities ranging from directing plays and serving as senior class advisor to coaching basketball, volleyball and softball. Miss Wiren was considered a counselor and mentor by many of her students and desires to continue that ministry here at BBC.

Insight Questions
1. What is your favorite book?
While I don't have one favorite, I re-read “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen and “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronte more than any other books.

2. What are your hobbies?
I love to play tennis and watch professional football.

3. Who has been your greatest spiritual influence?
My mother.

4. What goals do you have for your students?         
First, I try to stress the importance of doing everything to worship the Lord. If we aren't doing that, we are not succeeding. In conjunction with doing all things for the glory of God, is the concept that God wants us to do our best in every endeavor. If my students understand these two things and then apply them to the classroom, I can't ask for more.
