SKIE Award Regional Winners Announced
The SKIE (Supporting K20 Innovative Educators) Award celebrates educators or teams of educators across the state who have demonstrated the ability to link student learning with the innovative use of technology and the K20 IDEALS. Oklahoma’s electric cooperatives are a proud sponsor of this award.
Northwest Region
Summer Boismier | 9th Grade English | Piedmont High School, Piedmont Public Schools
Summer Boismier grew up reading science fiction and fantasy, imagining herself battling cyborgs and defeating Dementors. Now entering her sixth year of teaching, she’s found inventive ways to bring science and the humanities together in the classroom by linking project-based learning and robotics with English/Language Arts (ELA) concepts. Boismier’s innovative methods enable her to connect personally with her students. “My philosophy of teaching comes down to one deceptively simple word: relationships. I believe not only in meeting my students where they are but also in valuing them for who they are. I strive to give my students voice and choice in how they learn and that includes the use of technology.”
