Congratulations to the November Winner of the Golden Apple Award of Excellence, Emilee Adams! Here is what the nominators had to say: "Emilee Adams runs her 1st grade class with much energy, positive vibes and aplomb. The classroom management strategies she uses ensure that students always know what is expected, where to be and when. Students feel secure in routines and happy with the positive feedback she consistently provides. The range of skill levels in her class is wide. She addresses that with adapting instruction, including, and this is not always seen in classrooms, giving appropriate and challenging work to those ready for more. In her class, a student who might be a behavior problem because of not being engaged is instead occupied with learning in the brain friendly zone of proximal development. Emilee also makes learning personal. Students are invested in original projects they have a voice in creating, projects that also meet standards. Recently students created original math stories with equations, visual representations of the math, stories they wrote, and original artwork. This teacher also consistently reaches out to curriculum specialists for suggestions and ideas on how she improve her craft. After doing so she always reports back on the outcome and is prepared to discuss how to get to the next level. " "Despite having the biggest class, double the size of others, Mrs. Adams has it going on. Kudos to her professionalism, she deserves a Golden Apple." #rjes #goldenapple #award #teacher #aisd #aisdproud #metlakatla #alaska
