Miss Stephenson is a dedicated teacher who combines careful planning and sensitive instruction with a lively curiosity and an enthusiasm for children and learning. She constantly updates her knowledge and frequently incorporates new practices into her classroom. A teacher mentor for the past eighteen years, she was responsible for co-developing all of the county's curriculum guides. Miss Stephenson's classroom is typically the first in the school to be visited as a demonstration site.
