Superintendent's
Service Award Winner Enjoys One-on-One Work with Students
First
in a four-part series -
When Azam Anet began working as a teaching
assistant at Schimelpfenig Middle School, she
brought seven years of teaching experience
from Iran. Being new to the United States,
she was unable to express herself the way she
wanted. “I have two kids who were unable
to speak English at all,” she said. “So
I have been able to understand my students
who have a hard time learning.”
