Please help me in congratulating Sra. Lisette Geib from Riverbluff High School! Read about how Lisette instills the Interpersonal Power Skill in students. What peers had to say: "Sra. Geib does a phenomenal job of getting students to interact in Spanish, even in Spanish I. She applies scaffolding, a rewards system and authentic opportunities for students to engage in the language. She also encourages students to take risks with the language. She not only takes students abroad on trips, but serves as her own travel agent to organize a lower-cost authentic itinerary for students to participate in language immersion". What admin had to say: "Lisette is a student-centered teacher whose facilitated learning experiences designed for students are engaging and rich with language and culture. She is a leader in developing international world language experiences. We are so proud to have her working alongside our students and other world language teachers," Principal Luke Clamp.
