One Teacher of the Month for December is Gloria Whisner. She has been teaching for 11 years and subbed for 25 years prior to that. She was nominated by three of her students for being “a helpful person,” and “always there when you need it.”

Whisner became a teacher because she enjoys working with students and she likes to see “that light bulb go off” when they understand. She says its nice to be recognized that she helps students succeed and that she’s there when they need her.
