GT Scholars
Educator Recognition
Erin McCoy (AES) serves as AES' first grade team lead and the Student Council Sponsor. She goes above and beyond each day to ensure learning in her classroom. Each year she spends a vast amount of time building relationships with her scholars and their families. Since day one, Ms. McCoy has fit in wonderfully with the AES family. She is not afraid to bring great ideas to the table and hold everyone accountable.
Elena Velez-Ortiz (GT Coordinator) has been an integral part of strengthening our GT program. Her vision and level of expectation for scholars in the Gifted & Talented program is nothing less than excellence. It was Ms. Velez-Ortiz's idea to incorporate the GT standards into the Social Studies curriculum at the junior high level, which has proven to raise the level of rigor of the TEKS. GT scholars have been very successful on CTBAs and State Assessments. She has ideas that are "out of the box" that provide opportunities for rich learning experiences in and out of the classroom.
