In
her own words. . .
“A
mosaic is an art form that uses small pieces of a variety of materials to
create an incredible work of art. Teaching is similar to this ancient art form.
Our goal as educators is to create a well-rounded, caring and productive
life-long learner and citizen — each child is a piece of art.”
In
the words of others . . .
“I have the honor of being a
collaborative teacher as well as a parent of a student in Mrs. Smith’s
classroom. . . She would handle any behavioral issue at school to help teach
the students socially appropriate ways to communicate and respond. We, as
parents, had the ability to conference and discuss our child’s needs at any
time.”
– Wendy Olson, Rummel Creek Elementary parent and teacher
“I urge you to select Kathleen Smith as
Teacher of the Year . . . She truly
personifies what a teacher should be. What more could you ask of someone, but
to be selfless in directing the young minds that will one day lead our nation.”
– Tomeka
Mleod, parent of two former students
