I would like to recognize Erik for being an amazing Math III teacher at Levine Middle College and an exceptional support to our Harper Middle College community. He graciously committed to serving as a mentor for our new Math III teacher and has consistently demonstrated patience, professionalism, and a true willingness to share ideas, instructional resources, and best practices.

Erik’s dedication to students goes far beyond his own classroom. He has even agreed to teach his mentee’s class virtually for three days to ensure continuity of learning during an absence.  He is an incredible teammate and leader.

Thank you, Erik, for being a wonderful educator and an outstanding mentor. Your commitment and generosity make a meaningful difference for both students and colleagues.
