“Tracy is an illuminator. She knows and lives by this Yeats idea: “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” She has the ability to understand what students are going through. Tracy lets students feel valued, heard and understood. This is at the heart of all she does as a teacher and colleague. She daily gives this gift to others. She gets people. Tracy helps them become better versions of themselves. It is mesmerizing to watch her teach. She is a gifted Mathematician and a stellar teacher of Language Arts, Science and Technology. She makes even the most basic lessons magical. The degree to which students in her classroom are engaged in learning is unsurpassed. Under her spell, students are attentive, curious, interested, optimistic, and passionate about learning. Her enthusiastic sense of humor and positive class environment make it impossible to leave her classroom without being transformed.”
