Jessica Shuey
TODAY, THE SPOTLIGHT AND SHOOTING STARS ARE FALLING ON Overlea graduate , Jessica Shuey! If you were a teacher at Overlea (or her teacher) when she was a student (just four or five years ago!), DO congratulate her on an excellent observation. New and experienced teachers may enjoy seeing her take charge in her class. I’ve considered calling Harry Wong because; she’s got it going on---instruction, management, civility; positive, cooperative learning environment, procedures and routines, and mutual respect!
Jessica must have taken the best of all her teachers and now embodies those best practices. If you taught Jessica, you should be mighty proud. Go, Falcons!
THE STARS ALSO FELL ON several first year teachers who have simply been outstanding in their first observations. We have a wonderful group of eager, enthusiastic, knowledgeable teachers. They are doing a terrific job with classroom management, effective instruction and procedures and routines. Congratulations to Mr. Piscopo, Mr. McNally, Mr. Thompson, and Ms. Wolf. I’m just basking in their combined brilliance!
