Melissa Mize, a second grade teacher from Bacon Elementary School was RCFC's Teacher of the Month for December. She was briefly introduced by Cale Wicker, an Assistant Principal at Bacon. Melissa explained that she herself once struggled at school, making her keenly aware of the need to foster the growth of all students by making them aware of their progress. This is accomplished nowadays by a team of teachers. Melissa is one of the leaders in bringing about collective teacher efficacy. She is the “go to” teacher at her school and we were delighted to honor her.
