She is a great teacher.

She really cares about her kids and she definitely makes everything a fun learning experience. She even has a class instagram so the parents can see soem of the cool stuff they do during the day. She has made transitioning to a new school a breeze for all the incoming 3rd graders!

Mrs. Naef is the epitome of love and caring for her students. She makes everything personal to their wants and interests. Mrs. Naef goes above and beyond to make sure not only that her students learn, but excel.

I have been in education for 15 years and have worked in 2 different school districts. Mrs. Naef is THE BEST teacher that I have ever seen. My daughter has attended school in WFISD as well as Iowa Park. Mrs. Naef is by far the best teacher she has ever had. The kids all know she loves them. She is innovative in how she teaches the lessons. Though I have more experience [...]

Mr. Davis goes out of his way to teach kids who don’t understand immediately. He comes in every morning early and is willing to put in the time for his students. He also serves as a coach for AHS and is just as dedicated at practice as he is in the classroom.

I worked side by side with Natlyn for 5 years. I have literally watched her perform miracles in the lives of special needs children. I have witness many who the parents had given up on achieve goals that seemed above their reach. It was because of Natlyn’s dedication, consistency, wisdom, and love. She has been AJH’s teacher of the year twice in her career. The lives of many are better because of her.

I think we can all look back and remember that one teacher who we can truly say made a difference. That one teacher who sparked an interest or lit a fire within us to want to learn more. At Tomlinson Middle School , there are several teachers who would fit that description. Since we can choose one, I’ve nominated Dr. Jan Thomas . She truly sparks such an interest and a desire to learn more and more by [...]

Dr. Thomas goes above and beyond for her students. If the students could vote, every single one of them would nominate her. She makes Science so fun for her students that even the ones who said they hated Science before taking her class now absolutely love it….all because of the type of teacher she is. She loves coming to work and never complains. She’s very given and I believe she deserves this.

Mrs. Ashley Ghrayyeb should be selected to receive this phenomenal award because she is the the embodiment of what an Oklahoma Teacher should be. She’s kind, caring, giving, compassionate, and determined to help her students succeed. She gives them the best possible first year of school experiences and makes their Pre-K year so special by going above and beyond what the job calls for. She cooks with them, plans special learning experiences for them, and even invites her students [...]

Mrs. Shilling has worked hard to be the best teacher she can be. She teaches 3rd grade which is very difficult since it is a testing grade. She keeps her students interested in the content which is a feat in itself. Dawn is always prepared. Not only does she do a great job at teaching her students, she also recently received her Master’s Degree. All this while continuing to teach. She is truly [...]
