Meredith Doerr is Arete's Outstanding Teacher of 2023!!!

I think Meredith Doerr is a wonderful example of an outstanding teacher. She puts her heart and soul into teaching.  She can teach any grade, connects with students so well, and makes learning fun!  She holds students and families to a high standard and genuinely cares.  It is evident that she is passionate about teaching and she does it so well! 

She is always taking on extra duties/responsibilities. She is the head of the chicken committee and takes absolute responsibility to make sure the chickens are safe and thriving. (That has not been easy in this crazy weather.) She coordinates parents for both that and our overnight field trip to Sutter’s Fort which she is also responsible for. Meredith is the teacher that steps up for so many responsibilities that I have to check in with her to make sure she is not taking too much on. But the thing is, no matter how many extra roles she accepts, she knocks them all out of the ballpark.

She provides engaging opportunities for a variety of students. She spends time figuring out what works best for individual students.  She is constantly supporting students...in the Resource Center, tutoring, and in all the enrichments she offers. She works hard to offer students an enriching and meaningful curriculum.  It is clear she cares deeply about the students and our school as a whole. 

Meredith’s reach goes beyond Arete as she is the first teacher to step up if Magnolia needs a substitute. She teaches after school enrichment classes for Cottage Hill and Alta Sierra and is responsible for independent study and home hospital for PRSD. It is hard to comprehend how well she does so many different tasks and jobs, but she does both thoroughly and professionally.

Meredith makes herself available night and day to support families. She curates work to scaffold lessons or to provide supplements when students are struggling with specific concepts. She is committed to professional development and signs up for extra professional learning opportunities like Math Mindset.  She always has a positive attitude and is extremely thorough and timely in completing all work. Meredith has a positive rapport with all staff, students and parents. She is a dream employee and teacher.

Meredith is the absolute epitome of an Outstanding Teacher!
