Katie Lessard, 2026 GCPS Teacher of the Year
For this finalist’s classroom, we could rename the fourth grade as the “Go Forth!” grade. She sees the fourth grade as a watershed, a turning point where students’ child-like wonder can transform into inquiry, where their passions can become pursuits. She uses dynamic, playful, creative techniques to open her students’ eyes to worlds of possibilities, worlds into which they feel equipped to go forth with confidence and joy.
