DAVIS LEE
Mr. Lee played a vital role in
improving our classroom
community, as well as in the
implementation of standards in a
fun and innovative way. This kind
of initiative, going above and
beyond the basic function of the
job, is just one of the qualities I
find outstanding in Mr. Lee.
Mrs. Emily Toller
Cooperating Teacher
Alps Road Elementaty
As an instructor, Davis can
follow a plan, but is also flexible
and confident enough to stray
from the plan to meet the needs
as they arise.He makes
connections from the standards to
real-world applications and
situations so that students can
make sense of their learning.
Mrs. Mary Jo Gonzalez
Federal Heights Elementary
During the several
conversations I have had with
Davis and observations I have
performed of his class, I
witnessed student engagement,
learning and development at all
levels. The dedication Mr. Lee
has to his profession is very
evident in the quality of work his
students create year after year;
as well as, the collaborative ties
he has made with his colleagues
during professional development
sessions.
