Our Golden Apple Teacher this year is a reflective teacher that works hard to determine the needs of her students. She is honest with both parents and students about what she sees as the barriers for her students meeting their potential. She is also dedicated to helping them overcome those barriers. She works hard to balance student accountability with caring supports. She understands that there many factors that affect her students and wants to help them feel safe and cared for while they are at school. Mrs. Franklin shares that she is one of the teachers that looks back at the feedback she receives and addresses that feedback in her formal observations. She has a genuine desire to improve her ability to provide effective instruction for her students. When asked what they remember or like about this teacher, her current and past students mention her smile, her pretty room, her laugh, the fun homework parties and that she really cared about them…she also has good prizes.  We are lucky to have this teacher here at Spring Creek.

We would like to congratulate Mrs. Jackie McDermott as our 2019-20 Golden Apple Teacher
