Kathy Wetton
Congratulations to the latest Superior Educator - Kathy Wetton of Public Schools of Calumet, Laurium & Keweenaw. Read her nominations below!
"Kathy is simply phenomenal at what she does. I work with Kathy, and I get to witness her magic as a teacher and as a colleague. She loves her students unconditionally; she hugs them every day, soothes them when they are upset, and celebrates their successes with big smiles and high-fives. I have heard so many of Kathy's former students tell me how she was their favorite teacher, one of which is currently a teacher herself at our school! I often see Kathy's former students come by to visit her; a testament to the everlasting impression she leaves. She clearly has that special something, and her students absolutely adore her. I cannot possibly convey with words how incredible Kathy Wetton is...a true Superior Educator."
"Kathy instills confidence and belief in her students. She defines her students by their strengths rather than their deficits and builds upon those strengths until her students strive for success. She believes in her students and will not rest until achievement of content is mastered. She provides multiple strategies for students to become problem solvers. Every child needs a champion and she has been the champion of students for over 30 years. CLK Elementary is blessed to have Kathy Wetton as a teacher."
