“Mrs. Goeglein is the most incredible educator! She is a master teacher who positively impacts the lives of her students each day. She brings learning to life with her creativity and love for the arts. Like many teachers this school year, she is teaching both in-person students and online students simultaneously and has continued to build relationships with students that keep them engaged in learning and feeling cared for. She goes to great lengths every day to ensure each student is reaching their potential. She has an infectious joy that makes each person she comes into contact with feel special, loved and supported. She herself is loved by the whole community in which she teaches and continues to inspire and dare students to dream big!”
Mrs. Goeglein is a teacher that touches the lives of her students in a multitude of ways. As you enter her classroom, you see important life skills posted at the front of her room. These are not just posted but are the foundation of her classroom linked to skills and behavior needed to succeed in the world. She connects everything students do to these life skills. You will see beautiful artwork and a current hands-on project her students are working on. She is gifted at creating activities that integrate more than one subject matter to help students synthesize information. She is an amazing artist and musician who interweaves art into academics at every chance deepening student understanding and creativity. Then you would see her and the light that comes from her when she teaches. She loves and cares about her students and it shows in her interactions with them each day. She carries in materials, props, and other unusual items daily that will spark creative thinking or helps students’ ideas flow. Students in her class cannot help but to be engaged at the highest level and her end-of-year scores show it. She has taught for many years but is the most open to learning new ideas that will help her students grow to the highest level. She has motivated and inspired so many students and colleagues along her teaching journey!
