Board President: Jamison Power; Superintendent: Marian Kim-Phelps;  Executive Director: Jennifer Burks; Educational Technology Coaches: Samuel Plambeck, Lana Nguyen, Lauren Vv-Tran and Jason Spence

School District: Westminster School District

Westminster School District teachers have transformed their teaching and changed the way students learn with the i4 Blended Learning Academy. I4 stands for inspire, innovate, implement and impact. Dedicated, creative TK-8 teachers have taken giant strides to transition their classrooms into a blended learning environment. These i4 Innovators are well equipped with ongoing professional development, embedded coaching, and effective online and traditional classroom resources to support personalized learning for students. Collaboratively with their Educational Technology Coach, i4 Innovators have discovered innovative practices and provided students with new learning experiences. The i4 Innovators have empowered their students to work collaboratively and independently in blended learning environments with the Chromebooks and online tools; this program has allowed students to engage in dynamic learning experiences across a range of modalities.

Hargreaves & Shirley

In most change efforts, improvement is unequal and change fails to spread. Teachers and schools learn best not by reading research reports, listening to speeches, or attending workshops, but by watching, listening, and learning from each other in the very act of teaching itself. When making change, it is as important to build new relationships among people engaged in practices together as it is to spread new knowledge to them.

Haim G. Ginott

I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
