Perry awarded feature teacher In 17 years of teaching, Richfield School teacher Becky Perry has remained true to the fundamentals. "There are a lot of things that we as teachers can become distracted with, but the bottom line is that we teach because we love kids," she said. "I look at each student as an individual and teach to their specific needs. I try not to teach to the middle and aim to challenge kids to always strive to achieve more and learn more. The excitement they exhibit when they reach a new level of learning is the icing on the cake." Perry was given the Feature Teacher award for her accomplishments in the classroom, which are impressive. "Becky Perry is a nur- turing teacher who has high expectations for her students," said Rich Gif- ford, superintendent at Richfield School. "She creates individual learn- ing plans which are Student make treats for seniors for the holidays Courtesy photo designed to engage each student and have them producing and learning at the highest possible level; their personal bests. Stu- dents develop a true love for learning in her class- room." Perry said real success in the classroom is a com- bination of things; with parent involvement and support from administra- tion being high on her list. "I believe that parents are our best asset and can benefit children in count- less ways," she said. "Our small school is welcom- ing and warm with par- ents and community that are actively involved. I have gained so much of what I know and do as a teacher from colleagues; and our administrators are instrumental in our suc- cess as teachers. They set the tone in a school and encourage teachers and students to succeed. I feel extremely lucky to have worked for some great administrators and I'm thrilled to have received this award." The Feature Teacher award is presented month- ly through a community partnership between the Tehama County Depart- ment of Education and Tyler Smail of Edward Jones to honor highly suc- cessful teachers.
