Congratulations to the Educator of the Year, Ms. Brittney Vandergrift!
When asked what makes her so successful in the classroom she stated, "I am constantly working and attempting to challenge myself in order to be better for my students. I push my students to change their thinking about my subject to encourage them to be more growth minded. Regardless of how many times my students tell me "I'm not good at this" or "I can't do this" I encourage them to challenge themselves and ask for help. I challenge my student to ask "What could I be missing?" Ms. Vandergrift tries her best to be involved not just in the classroom but also outside of it understanding that she can make a difference in the entire school. She not only attends her student sporting and UIL events, but she also volunteers to work the games to support what is important to our students.
Congratulations to Ms. Vandergrift for being chosen as Rudder's 2020-21 Educator of the Year! You make a BIG difference at Rudder.
