Teri Fisk Paraeducator Award: Teri Fisk was a dedicated paraeducator at Grantsdale Elementary School in Hamilton School District for over fifteen years. She worked one-on-one with students, and conducted small reading intervention groups, but her true passion was supporting struggling students in math. She was an integral part of the school community--doing lice checks, baking for school and faculty dinners, taking tickets at games--and giving of herself every day to nurture kids and help them grow.
Teri also worked diligently with the OPI State Paraprofessional Consortium through the years and was most proud of being part of the MEA-MFT PASS program and the state paraprofessional documentation of highly qualified status.
The characteristics of a great para that were most important to Teri were:
1.Applying skills learned through professional learning.
2.Sharing those skills with others.
3.Growing professionally.
4.Being a positive, contributing member of the school community.
