January’s Teacher of the Month is Mrs. Knipper. She teaches English I, English I combo, Intro to Education, and is also the head of the Gifted and Talented program at Adm High school. Knipper has been teaching for 14 years, 11 being at ADM. Mrs. Knipper decided to become a teacher because she “loves to work with kids” and she chose to teach English because she, “Loves to read and write” and wants to share that with her students.

Knipper was nominated by a lot of her students, a lot of them being online students which Knipper said was, “validating”  to know that she is able to teach her online students and still make those connections with them even though they are at home. Knipper was honored that her students chose her to be January’s teacher of the month, and is thankful to be recognized.
