Shady Grove Elementary's January Gem of Appreciation is the famed Teresa Mather. Mrs. Mather serves our teachers and students as the Instructional Coach. She is a bright light on our campus and comes to the rescue any time any teammate is in need of problem solving, behavior strategies, modeling, instructional advice, data interpretation, technology assistance... you name it, and she either knows the answer or will find the answer! She is a listener, a positive pick-me-up after hard days, an instructional leader, a teacher to her core, an example to all of us, and to top it all off, she has the best jokes for our daily morning announcements!
Example: Why did the dog cross the road? To get to the barking lot!
