Congratulations to Mrs. Judy Leadbeater, who has been named the Four Peaks Rotary Club Teacher of the Month!
Mrs. Leadbeater is an exemplary teacher who develops positive relationships with students, parents and staff at Fountain Hills Middle School. Judy teaches fifth graders who are beginning to develop the qualities of independent youngsters ready to share their voices. Mrs. "Leddy," as her students call her, models and coaches students on appropriate and polite ways for her students to be heard and to also listen. Judy recognizes that while her students are changing and growing, that they still enjoy burning off energy in the desert sun and playing their favorite games from their early elementary years. Mrs. Leddy takes her students to the playground every Wednesday for a short opportunity to run the track, climb the equipment, or blow bubbles before they go to their special area classes.
Judy is well-planned and students are engaged in lessons not only because the content is interesting, but also because they know Mrs. Leddy cares about each of them, individually and as a class. Students who may be struggling academically are invited to join her "Breakfast Club" which meets at 7:30 a.m., where Judy provides them additional tutoring, practicing math/reading/writing skills, and to complete their homework with her assistance. In Breakfast Club and in her daily work, Mrs. Leddy connects with her students who feel good telling her stories about their weekends and families, and she reciprocates.
Judy's positive, professional, and collaborative style strengthens her grade level, our school, and our district. We are thrilled that Mrs. Judy Leadbeater has been named Rotary Teacher of the Month for November 2017.
