“Janell Allen is one of the most influential teachers I have ever known, and yet you will never hear her bragging about it, so I’m here to do it for her. She leads through example in everything she does. She leads students by modeling a strong work-ethic, a natural curiosity, a desire to learn, and most of all, a desire to serve. She recently began professional development in a unique civics program so that she could implement the service-based civics curriculum at Kearns High School. She leads teachers (both in her department and outside of it) by consistently modeling best practices and offering encouraging words to those who need it. Students and teachers alike go to Janell whenever they need guidance or support. Most importantly, Janell is devoted to her students and their success. Many teachers want to help their students understand material and pass classes, but Janell is special because she focuses on empowering students to own their success. After interacting with her, students and teachers are left feeling capable, valuable, and inspired. The Kearns community is so lucky to have Janell.”
