Congratulations Dawn Small on being named the 2007 IBEA Outstanding Classroom Teacher!

After earning her Masters of Arts in Education from the University of Indianapolis in 2003, Anna committed her life to teaching.   Anna, who is currently teaching at Hamilton Southeastern HS, is “a big part of a very successful business department.  She is well liked and respected by students and parents.  She has a natural ability to motivate students to do their best.  Her rapport with her students influences them in positive ways.  She is a teacher that comes to mind when we need someone to go “above and beyond” the call of duty.  This year she was placed in charge of our Freshmen Mentor program.  Anna’s work on this program has been truly a model for the rest of our faculty to follow in terms of dedication and work beyond what is required of her,” according to HSE Director of Guidance Nancy Herdon.

Dr. Jon Milleman, HSE principal, proudly writes, “As her principal, I think it is important to convey the passion she brings to teaching and learning.  There are no second-class citizens in Anna Stumpf’s classroom.  Her students do well because they don’t want to disappoint her.  This means that her caring attitude is transferred to her students.”

“When you walk into one of Anna’s classrooms, you notice immediately the amount of energy within the room that radiates from her and her students.  This is the result of her enthusiasm and dedication not only to her students, but the business content she is teaching.  She is able to motivate the students and make the link between her content and her past work experience in the business world,” Colleen Beeler adds. 

With pride and enthusiasm, the IBEA Executive Board would like to present Mrs. Anna Stumpf with the 2007 Emerging Professional Award.
