🍎#PublicSchoolsWeek is a perfect time to recognize our dedicated teachers who are helping our students achieve #PHMExcellence every day. Each semester we honor the the teachers whose students achieve the district's largest academic growth. Superintendent Dr. Heather Short & school principals surprise the teachers in the classroom with their students with a PHM Teacher Impact Award🏆
🏫Today we surprised teachers at three schools:
📖Discovery's 8th gr. ELA teacher Patrick O'Malley had the highest overall growth in two classes from ELA Checkpoint 1 to ELA Checkpoint 2. This was the highest of all 8th grade ELA classes!
📚Mary Frank Elementary School 4th gr. co-teachers Rachel Kelleher and Nicole Greene achieved the highest overall growth for 4th gr. ELA Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2. Mrs. Kelleher's students also achieved the highest overall growth in 4th grade from Checkpoint 1 to Checkpoint 2!
👩‍🏫Horizon Elementary 1st gr. teacher Natalie Hapke's students achieved 55% growth in Grade 1 from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year--the highest in the district!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thank you P-H-M Education Foundation for providing the beautiful engraved awards that the teachers keep in their classrooms as a reminder of what they and their students accomplished. #OurPublicSchoolsWork
