As we celebrate teachers this week, we'd like to focus on some of our favorite teachers.
Beth Crider, our Regional Superintendent's favorite teacher was Mr. Ron Lowery, social studies teacher at Dunlap High School. Beth was a part of the first enriched U.S. History course. Mr. Lowery brought in articles, books and textbooks from the British point of view written about the Revolutionary War. Her 17-year-old mind was blown! Another point of view? Another name for that war? From that point forward, she started to think. Not process or memorize information; think. It's still profound to her to this day.
Mr. Lowery taught EVERY. DAY. The day before Christmas break? Teaching. The day before a big school event? Teaching. Not a wasted minute. And the final for that U.S. History class? Discuss the Civil War. It was the only question. She has never written so much by hand so fast and furiously in all of her life.
Beth has been lucky to see and talk with Mr. Lowery many times in her professional career, especially as part of her work as the Regional Superintendent. He was a part of making her who she is today. During Teacher Appreciation Week, Beth always thinks of Mr. Ron Lowery!
