We are thrilled to introduce our Foster County Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Sierra Tweed! Sierra has been teaching for eight years. She loves being a Carrington Cardinal! In addition to teaching 2nd grade, she has served in coaching roles, and as a mentor and supervising teacher. In the community she volunteers as a Sunday School teacher.
Describe how you support the unique learning needs of your students.
“Relationships first! I love getting to know my students and their interests. I make it a point to connect with them from day one. By creating that trust from the beginning, it makes it easier to meet the needs of students.”
How do you currently advocate for teachers? What ideas would you like to pursue to encourage others to join the profession?
“It's important to me to share my passion of teaching and give advice to novice teachers by being a mentor and cooperating teacher. As a mentor and student teacher host, I try my best to make sure the beginning and preservice teachers have an enjoyable experience. It's essential to show them all the joys of what being a teacher entails.”
