Teacher of the Year Finalist Evelyn Schwartz Oakridge Elementary School As a veteran teacher of almost 19 years, Evelyn Schwartz is the kind of teacher who sees a need and makes a plan to meet. She supports her students, and colleagues and is active in the community. For the last 12 years, Schwartz has focused on inspiring and encouraging her fi rst grade students to achieve their highest levels. “My students’ mission statement is: ‘I am responsible for my learning, safety, health, happiness and making the world a better place,’” said Schwartz. “My students are only six and seven, but they understand our mission.” Her goal is for her students to be in an engaged, positive, safe environment where they can view school as a place where they can learn and contribute to the world around them. Always looking for new ways to engage her students, the Daily Five program was implemented in her classroom so her students were responsible for their learning to read. “Imagine six and seven year old children being responsible for their own reading practice.” She knew this was a winning program and shared it with her colleagues to motivate their students. Over the years, she was awarded not only Teacher of the Year at her school, but also Social Studies Teacher of the Year for Broward County. Schwartz feels her most effective role has been as the Chairperson for the School Advisory Council, where she established a genuine rapport with parents and addressed their concerns. Another active role has been on the City of Hollywood Education Advisory Committee where she initiated grants for many schools in Hollywood. Serving in many leadership positions, her role has been like a life-coach to her colleagues and friends. 31
