Lauren Thies

Calvert Elementary
Kindergarten Teacher
Nominated By: Principal Jeff Brehm

I want to nominate Lauren Thies for our Inspire Staff member. I have been fortunate enough to work with some of Lauren's students these past two years so walking into her classroom daily has always showcased a teacher who has been prepared, created engaging lessons for her students, and one who is up interacting or monitoring her students work. She builds a classroom environment that is kind and fair yet students are held accountable to high expectations - a bar she sets high for all students in their own right because she believes in all of her students. I have also had time in class covering either in her own classroom or her coworkers classroom where there have been shared experiences in seeing her teach or teaching off her well organized lesson plans. Lauren shows what dedication to children and their individualize learning could (and should) look in all classrooms across all grade levels. It's an honor to work alongside someone like Lauren.
