Provo Way 獲獎人：Ashley Damavandi，百年中學數學老師

“Ashley is a great teacher at Centennial Middle School,” said Carla Johnson, the district’s Secondary Curriculum Math Specialist. “She constantly looks for ways to stretch students mathematically.”

Carla is talking about Ashley Damavandi, a stellar Centennial Middle School Math Teacher who received the Provo Way Award through Carla’s nomination.

透過每月的 Provo Way 獎項，普羅沃市教育局和教育理事會旨在強調和慶祝學生、教師、行政人員、家長和員工對我們社區的積極影響。

Math is a subject that, like the teaching profession, is often overlooked and underappreciated. A good math teacher pushes students to grow and learn—likely against the student’s will. We would argue that great math teachers strive to grow and learn, too. It is for these many reasons and more that Carla Johnson nominated Damavandi. To quote:

“Ashley is always willing to model effective research-based strategies for colleagues. She’s willing to share her resources and practice with others. She keeps her practice current by participating in professional learning with her peers to serve her students better.”

We are so lucky to have such a fantastic math teacher in our district. Thank you, Ashley, for all you do, seen and unseen, for the youth of Provo.
