Jennifer Caldwell, Silvis Junior High School

Subject: Counselor/science.

Years of teaching: 11.

Teaching philosophy: ”I believe that each child is a unique individual with an innate desire to learn. By addressing individual needs, learning styles, interests and social concerns, I can create an environment that the child feels safe and learning would take place on multiple levels.”

Testimonials:

”Going above and beyond does not describe the true dedication Mrs. Caldwell exhibits on a daily basis,” wrote Michael Hughes, principal at George O. Barr Elementary School, in Silvis, when nominating Mrs. Caldwell. ”She can be found organizing our Backpack Snack program, working with the Builder’s Club, organizing canned food drives, making treats for children throughout the district, coaching extracurricular events, and attending all events and activities throughout the year.”

”She made science come alive to students,” wrote Judy Glenn. ”The absence of a science lab and equipment did not hinder her in any way. Jennifer worked tirelessly to make the curriculum exciting and interesting to her students.”

”She always has a smile on her face and joy in her voice,” wrote 2009 United Township High School graduate Victor Saucedo. ”When you hear her in the classroom laughing with the kids, you can’t help but feel she loves what she does.”
