Greenville County Schools
Angie Lewis, a third grade teacher at Skyland Elementary School, was selected the Emerging Teacher of the Year by Greenville County Schools.
She felt the calling to return to school to earn a teaching degree while working as a kindergarten assistant. Two years ago Lewis began teaching in the second grade and moved to the third grade when the school needed to fill a vacancy.
Lewis extends her instruction to the home by educating parents in the use of Accelerated Reader and Compass Odyssey. She meets with students and parents during student-led conferences to set individualized goals. Lewis participates in the SmART Arts Integration program, which allows her to bring guest artists into the classroom.
Lewis receives $500, a crystal award, and $500 for Skyland Elementary.
The Greenville Credit Federal Union presented the award.
