Spearman Junior High Announces Teacher of the Year
Brian Beck teaches social studies at Spearman Junior High. Beck has previously been named Employee of the Month.
A coworker shared, “Mr. Beck is dedicated to empowering our students with knowledge and understanding.” Another coworker added, “Mr. Beck is always very organized. Ever since he was my history teacher years back, Mr. Beck would always know how to explain and teach history in a way every student would understand it. I go to some of his classes to help students, and he is very confident. All students respect him. He always prepares for his classes ahead of time and helps co-teach another teacher. Mr. Beck is an amazing history teacher!!
“Brian has a passion for teaching and helping students learn. He takes teaching seriously and cares about his students. He comes to school with a positive attitude each day. Brian also coordinates UIL every year and does such a great job,” stated a coworker.
Craig Black, Spearman Junior High Principal shared, “He leads the Spearman Junior High staff and students with the University Interscholastic League (UIL) in organizing and signing students up for respective teams. He is a highly effective classroom teacher and manages the classroom well. The management of data comes effortlessly for him, and he plans accordingly to the needs of the students.”
Congratulations, Mr. Beck, on a job well done!
Spearman High School Announces Teacher of the Year
Michael Lozano teaches sports medicine and is the district athletic trainer. He has worked for Spearman ISD for eleven years. “Michael is a team player and is willing to assist wherever possible. He is a great role model for our students, deeply cares about their well-being, both physically, and emotionally. His positive attitude sets him apart from others,” stated James Layman.
A coworker shared, “Coach Lozano has created an athletic sports training program at Spearman ISD. Through his program, he has influenced many students to start a career as an athletic trainer or physical therapist. He has created sports medicine classes, which involved writing and developing his scope and sequence to develop the classes. He makes his class challenging yet fun. He is creative with his lessons and makes games such as Athlete Dungeon and Dragon’s to help his students learn the content. Outside of class, Michael trains Olympic Weightlifting athletes. I have had the pleasure of working with him at the gym. He is a role model and a coach who understands how to motivate and push athletes to the highest competition levels. If you look at Michael's program, many of his trainers are young women. I love that Michael is a solid male figure in their life. He teaches his trainers the importance of having/being a strong family and Christian man.”
“I feel like Michael gets overlooked a lot and he does so much for our students. He loves and cares for their academics, and their well-being physically. Whether that is with injuries or with the weight training for the girls. He has a big load in my opinion and does a great job,” stated another coworker.
Congratulations, Coach Lozano, on this very deserving award!
