Leah Joy-Oberg
Mountain View Elementary
My ideas of what makes me an outstanding teacher is that I continue to be a learner. I spend a considerate amount of time thinking about and researching the best approaches to teaching kids how to read. I freely and often share my thoughts and findings with the paraprofessionals in STAR, the classroom teachers, our literacy coach, and our principals. Through these conversations, I am affecting the belief systems of the
staff at my school which means more adults are positively affecting more
kids.
