Meet A Few IPS Teachers

“I’ve become a stronger teacher because I’ve had strong leaders in IPS. If you want to grow as an educator, this is definitely a place to come, learn, and grow. If you want to stay in the classroom, they will help you be a stronger teacher. If you want to go into administration, they will help you with that pathway.”

—LaShawna Tramill, English Teacher, George Washington High School

“One of my goals is to know every kid’s name. So I greet every kid in the morning. And if I don’t know it, I stop and ask every day until I get it. The students in our school are full of personality and that’s part of the reason why I want to get to know each of them on an individual level.”

— Megan Potter, Reading Interventionist, Clarence Farrington School 61

“I have been here for nine years and have built relationships with the students in this community. They know I have high expectations for them, but we can also kid around with each other. And they know when it’s time to get back to business.”

—Rocio Cisneros, ENL Teacher, Charles W. Fairbanks School 105
