Every month the Mountain View-Birch Tree School District chooses a teacher that has shown exemplary leadership, creates an atmosphere that is great for learning, and spreads positivity to students and staff. Each month teachers are nominated by their peers based off of a particular quality they possess that make them an exemplary teacher. The characteristic for the November teacher of the month was preparedness. Gina Anderson, a second grade teacher at Mountain View Elementary, was chosen for the November Teacher of the Month.
In response to her nomination Mrs. Anderson stated, “It is very humbling, but also quite an honor, to be nominated by my coworkers. It feels good to be recognized for working hard to be prepared to teach my class each day.”
Teachers had lots of great things to say about Mrs. Anderson, “Gina arrives to work early every day to prepare for her class. She is an efficient and effective elementary teacher. She knows exactly what a second grader needs to know and how to ensure they learn it. Her schedule is conducive to learning. She utilizes every minute of her classroom time. The Mountain View-Birch Tree School District is lucky to have Mrs. Anderson.”
Mrs. Anderson expressed her appreciation for the school, and that she thoroughly enjoys working at Mountain View elementary. “I love teaching at MVE because all of the teachers and our principal support each other. Everyone works hard each day and strives to do their very best for the students.”
Mrs. Anderson is passionate about what she does, and wants to provide the best education and experiences for her students. She loves being a teacher and stated, “ The best part of being a teacher is helping students become life-long readers and writers. It is very rewarding to watch a child learn and grow each day.
