Texas Science teacher and Western Governors University student Nikki Skinner earned the Teacher of the Year award at Almeda Elementary School.
“Having been nominated by my peers, I am happy that people see that science is important and that we are really working hard to make it meaningful, not to just pass a test but to make life long enthusiasts of science exploration out of students,” Nikki said. “The engineers of tomorrow are sitting in a 5th grade class today. I like to think that I am enabling them to be that scientist, robotics expert, or engineer.”
