Karen Oden is an amazing teacher! She provides students with a caring, loving, and safe environment, allowing students to succeed at their own pace and providing support when needed. She often dedicates time to this before and after school.
Ms. Oden creates fun, hands-on learning experiences such as pizza day, vet animal day, monster math, escape rooms, and other fun activities that students remember for years to come. She teaches with her heart!
A parent shared that Ms. Oden was able to see the potential within her daughter and encourage her, while still holding her accountable for reaching that potential. It was remarkable and inspiring.
Of course, even the best relationship without learning would eliminate the purpose of school. Ms. Oden’s ability to draw on creative resources and provide alternatives in the classroom is fantastic.
Congratulations Ms. Oden!
