Seattle Educators Honored

From SPS Communications:

KCTS 9 announced that Kristen Bailey Fogarty is a winner of the 2013 Annual Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Education. Bailey-Fogarty, a reading intervention teacher at Eckstein Middle School, was one of nine educators across the state honored for making a positive difference in Washington state education from early childhood through high school.

From Seattle Magazine:

Among their picks for most Influential People for 2013 were (number one: Macklemore, yay!) and Garfield teachers  Jesse Hagopian and Mallory Clarke for their efforts around the MAP boycott.

I have sent 2 kids through SPS. They have had many amazing teachers. Kristin, though, stands apart. She reaches every kid in the class. The kids are so motivated & excited about learning. They feel like they can accomplish what she expects & her expectations are high. I am glad that she is teaching reading intervention now, a great use for her skills, with kids who are starting to give up on academics.

Congratulations Kristin!

I don't know Kristin but her husband Joe at QAE is phenomenal. Truly gifted. One of the teachers I know my daughter will never forget.

Kristin is one of my former colleagues and I couldn't be prouder of her! An honor long overdue and well deserved.
