Congratulations to Genna Percefull, star Teacher 2nd Grade Teacher...our STAR Teacher of the Week receiving the most nominations!
Her colleagues write:
- She is an amazing teacher! She provides clear and consistent expectations for her students that allow them to grow and thrive.
- She is very solution and student driven. If there is a "situation" that arises she looks past that and is always wondering how she can improve that situation if it arises again. She is very flexible with all her students and can genuinely tell she cares about everyone's needs in class.
- She continues to remain calm and professional even when things around her are difficult.
- She has taken an organized and calm approach to supporting all students. Regardless what is thrown her way, she remains calm cool and collected, while constantly looking for solutions to move the class forward academically and socially.
I absolutely enjoy getting to read all of the ToW nominations! Be sure to share your affirmation with your star nominee!
