Wilde Lake Pride! Karen Stiller is Honored with a MCMT Award!

Congratulations to Wilde Lake Middle School's Karen Stiller for being honored with the Maryland Council of Teachers of Mathematics Excellence in Teaching Award
I had the privilege of attending the award ceremony, this past Thursday evening, where Ms. Stiller was presented the Excellence in Teaching Award by the MCTM Past President, Bill Barnes and current President, Susan Vohrer. 

Karen is so deserving of this honor. Her classroom is always full of excitement and motivation. She uses math manipulatives, technology, videos and other tools to capture the interest of her students. Her interactive approach to both the teaching and learning process are extremely effective with middle school learners. She prides herself on teaching all children. She especially gets a lot of satisfaction from helping those students who have difficulties with learning. She has a keen understanding of the importance of identifying individual student needs, encouraging talent development and fostering self-esteem within her classroom.

I also want to congratulate Ms. Holly Cheung who also was an award recipient at this same banquet. She is also an amazing math teacher and friend. I had the good fortune of working with Ms. Cheung at Elkridge Landing Middle. 

Way to go Karen and Holly!
