2021-2022 Teacher of the Year Ms. Ephraim!!
Spirit Elementary is proud to announce that Ms. Mikeeta Ephraim will be representing Spirit as the 2022-2023 Teacher Of the Year!
Ms. Ephraim’s greatest strengths are her ability to develop, foster
and embrace relationships with EVERYONE, her fierce loyalty, selfless-dedication and commitment to our district,
our school, staff, students and families, and her grit and determination to solve any barrier impacting student success
and achievement.
Ms. Ephraim looks at each student in her class as an individual. She has high expectations and a passion for
learning that ignites that some love in the students she teaches. She believes that each student can reach
proficiency on the state standards with the specifically designed instructional practices that they need. In her classroom, in all subjects, you can see
students having conversations about learning and standards, you can see students clarifying their thinking and
pushing the thinking of others. Students are engaged in learning behaviors that will help them critique the world
around them, discover answers to questions through reading, reasoning and dialogue long after they have left
her classroom.
