We have a special opportunity to bring up here. For those of you who are here every month, you know how we set this up, but let me go ahead and say it for more time for anybody to do. The world-class leader in education is someone who exemplifies our mission and our mission state. It's someone who develops world-ready life-long learners, fostered a standard of excellence. It serves as an advocate and a student for the roles who [8:01] In short, relevant teaching, gauge learning, and dynamic innovation, and maximizes all the available resources. [8:09] Cheryl Seller's English teacher for an Esen High School is a 16 year veteran of E.C.I.S.D. [8:16] You want that one? [8:19] She was our own reading, we're changing, and you will see her picture on the wall right out there in the lobby. [8:26] She doesn't know she hadn't got this one yet that we had a picture ready to get her tonight too. [8:32] And she received, she received the black app at the campus because in January she was unable to attend and she was going through a personal time [8:42] and I didn't get the meeting that night so we weren't found in the tournament to make sure she got here in front of the school. [8:47] She was nominated by the Education Foundation and when you talk about maximizing available resources [8:55] She has received more than $69,000 to grant funds through the Education Foundation Foundation to use her platform to enhance teaching for her. [9:04] She has cash and for teaching and for helping students achieve their high potential. [9:09] So as she strives to make learning fund for the students, and she works very hard to ensure that they have the tools they need to succeed. [9:16] Every grant will work to facilitate a specific success and students to excel in entrepreneurship. [9:20] And it's not just a student, she cares well with the parents as well. [9:24] This is really the, she is taking time to give ESL, she's like, English has a second language parents, English lessons, she did, and I'm sorry I did. [9:32] While she was an actor, she hired out to one of the grants and she used to, well, she lets her hex expertise and seals to other teachers in the district, whenever she's asked, especially in the area of writing grants from the foundation. [9:43] And since she's been at OSHA, she's been a cheerleader for the education foundation, encouraging other teachers to apply for funding. [9:49] and offering a living example on that extra effort to make a difference. [9:55] It's Sheryl Sellers, world class leader for January, both of us want to make sure you are here close to the board to bring it to you. [10:41] The Texas is [10:44] so search what it calls [10:52] them unless you do an outstanding job of covering, uh, covering the school district. [10:57] A few things that are absolutely full of requirements for this. [11:01] They, the reporter or agency, these, to get to know the superintendent, the board president, the district goals admission. [11:07] report school news in a manner that is fair, accurate, balanced, give a high profile position to good news about [11:14] students, visit the schools, and maintain a policy of no surprises by sharing information and school representatives as they're pretty good at their stories. [11:22] We have two that will be nominated this year, and I would like to ask Lindsay, we've heard from the U.S. American, and taking a hug or we've represented CBS 7 tonight, if you all will come on down here. [11:34] It's going to stand here for just a minute. [11:37] Good front. [11:40] Lindsay was the educational board for the OA, or about a year and a half, but is now moving [11:46] to an online editor position, well, just got that coach for the facility, so she has no longer [11:52] reporting on her schools. [11:54] And the SCVF7 representative by taking cover, I don't want to sound real repetitive [12:00] all through the self, let me sum up what they do to get the reasons for their nominations [12:05] very very simple. [12:06] They covered the tough stories and they asked us hard questions, but both are constantly [12:10] looking for future stories and actively highlighting good news and accomplishments for students [12:16] in our staff and the district in general. [12:18] So that's why we nominated Shoshivia 7-Nancy, we were from the Odessa American as our [12:23] as we are on a whole process. [21:20] . [33:53] And what's that? [36:21] She just finished her 26th year with the CISD majority of those in Austin. She's not back with colleagues as kind, generous, and caring. She's always willing to take new teachers under her wing and offer assistance, regardless of the things that she's doing in her own class. She's always looking for new ways to help her students flourish. Her principal calls Dana, a massive teacher, a campus leader, and says her students show great growth. She's part of Austin's lead teacher team and a tutor for the fifth graders. My favorite quote from her nomination packet, [36:50] came from a fellow teacher at Austin who said, I want to be just like, so congratulations. [37:03] The secondary teacher of the year is K&D Thompson. [37:13] He's just digital graphics and illustration from the advanced technical center on the campuses of [37:17] Chief San Francisco, Dessa. She's a 25-year veteran at a PCIACD having plotted the way just [37:22] and the ATC. She works very long hours, including a lot of personnel or personal powers, [37:28] Helping students with projects, helping other different personnel with projects and community members with projects too, [37:35] all the while maintaining a positive and sheer event. [37:38] Three years ago, three years ago she was given a new assignment away from the video technology program [37:43] that she built from scratch into a new program of brand new software, and some $60,000 in brand new equipment, [37:51] and she mastered it within that first year of running growth. [37:53] She and her students not only do geographic design work, but you've probably seen their T-shirts, their yard signs, their posters and other products. [38:01] They basically run a state-of-the-art special shop from the Philippines. [38:05] Her students of one individual design and production contest sponsored by Roses by Texas Tech Media by the Pernier Basel Reach for the face of regional council on alcohol drug abuse. [38:16] and they annually went local, regional and state business professionals of American politicians. [38:22] And so with the moment at the time we have here, I'd like to welcome you again to mention a number of student groups, [38:27] or immunizations at Canvas activities. [38:29] She's been involved with through the years, but I can't say she's sponsored. [38:32] She likes to come to me. [38:34] And for that, it's worth it. [38:36] Secondary teacher of the year, but Candy Thompson is our thing in here. [38:39] Thank you. [38:48] Administrator of the Year actually meant we [38:53] did not want to break that time as opposed to [38:55] community service. So we've got co administrators of the year this year. First Alicia [39:01] Brex from Charles. [39:10] It's actually like a session correct that right off that she's [39:13] a nine year veteran of education. Been with ECI's D for six years and passed three as a [39:17] principal. It's all telemetry but she'll be moving and she'll be principal on the brand new [39:23] in elementary school to love in August of 2015. [39:26] So this next year, she's all about planning, [39:28] hiring, and getting a school off the ground from youth. [39:32] So the job principle is as difficult, [39:34] but one has there is. [39:35] In addition to all of the normal duties, [39:37] Mrs. Press uses her extra time, [39:40] but if they're preparing, third through sixth grade, [39:43] Saturday school, that sixth grade student, [39:45] organization is one of her strengths. [39:47] Her teacher's saying that Zales is a team, [39:50] they say it's Rally's High, [39:51] schools, positive environments, for example, for an eye-expect, eye-expectation, and continuous [39:57] this press is always putting students first and spends countless hours researching new ways to [40:02] reach and teach them and coming up with new ideas to encourage them and give them a panel to back. [40:07] She and her husband have adopted three children in her national recognition as model, [40:11] adoptive parents. Recently, she won't be able to staff member in that range. [40:16] This press has been chosen to be principal, one of the elementary schools I was mentioned [40:20] and then, in August 2015, Alicia Press, one of our Administrators of the Year. [40:33] And Walker, from Ireland and Elementary's, [40:45] of course, 33 years of experience in education, [40:48] 27 of those of us, and the past 10 years, as the principal and iron element, [40:54] like Mrs. Press, who's Walker holds herself and her staff to the highest professional standards. [40:59] She's built a group of theater teachers, the staff of successful building routines, [41:03] and demonstrated that building trust and relationships to care of. [41:07] She has ventured several assistant principals in the U.N. [41:09] in the role of principal. [41:11] Her leadership allows teachers to be creative, [41:13] and engaging from some teaching rigorously. [41:15] And this allows for a happy and motivated staff [41:18] and teachers who are motivated to make the school very best. [41:22] This blocker has also gotten to the side of it here recently. [41:25] She too will be moving from Ireland and elementary to San Jacinto, [41:28] I don't know if next year our skill and the expertise will be used to turn it to two minutes, so, hey, well, congratulations. [51:21] Thank you very much. [58:50] Thank you. [1:36:20] You know what?
