Noblesville Schools has named four educators as 2016 Innovative Teachers of the Year. The teachers were nominated by their peers and were then selected for the honor by a committee of teachers and administrators.
The winners are:
- Mitch Mosbey, first grade at Promise Road Elementary (four years of service with Noblesville Schools)
- Jamie Weiss, fifth grade at White River Elementary (10 years of service with Noblesville Schools)
- Julie Meyer, seventh grade science at Noblesville West Middle School (18 years of service with Noblesville Schools)
- Andy Wilkins, financial algebra and aerospace engineering at Noblesville High School (11 years of service with Noblesville Schools)
One teacher was chosen to represent each academic level: (grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12). The district said selection focused on teachers who best exemplify Noblesville Schools’ mission and vision. The teachers selected are regularly demonstrating new and exciting ways to connect with their student learners through innovative techniques that spark curiosity and empower students.
The winners were presented a laser-engraved award made by Noblesville High School students and a $250 professional development grant. Their names will also be engraved on a plaque displayed at the district administrative headquarters.
The announcements were made as part of the Miller Shift Learning Showcase event, where faculty and students across the district displayed approximately 70 interactive accomplishments aimed at highlighting the Miller Shift learning experience.
