Recognizing exceptional educators is an essential act in celebrating their dedication, innovation, and impact within the realm of education. This month, the spotlight shines brightly upon Jen Hauser and Dr. Sharisa Chan, two remarkable individuals whose unwavering commitment to their students has earned them the esteemed title of Educator of the Month by 3030 Publishing.
Jen Hauser, a dynamic Physical Education Instructor at Temecula Valley Charter School, exemplifies a holistic approach to education. Beyond imparting physical skills, Hauser embraces the transformative potential of P.E. classes to instill crucial life lessons. She recognizes the classroom as a space not just for exercise, but for fostering empathy, sportsmanship, and social awareness among her students.
One incident stands as a testament to her empathetic approach. When confronted with a new student resistant to participation and visibly disengaged, Hauser’s instinct was not disciplinary action but a compassionate outreach. By offering the student a role as her class helper, she transformed resistance into engagement, unveiling the student’s hidden potential and fostering a newfound respect for the class. Hauser’s belief in continual growth reflects her commitment to professional development, research, and self-reflection, ensuring she evolves alongside the ever-changing educational landscape.
Dr. Sharisa Chan, an exceptional curriculum developer and EdTech trainer, emerges as a beacon of equity in computer science education. As an unwavering advocate for marginalized students facing educational barriers, Dr. Chan’s work centers on dismantling obstacles and providing access to all students, irrespective of their backgrounds. Her “Equity Minded Instruction in Computer Science” workshops empower educators to integrate an equity lens into their teaching methodologies, fostering a more inclusive learning environment.
Dr. Chan’s approach transcends conventional pedagogy, emphasizing the crucial role of social-emotional skills in educational leadership. Her efforts extend far beyond the confines of her county, as she shares her expertise and knowledge nationwide, hosting workshops that bridge gaps and promote equity in computer science education.
