Congratulations to Dr. Merritt for being a finalist for the SAM Labs 2024 Educator of the Year!
Dr. Merrit is an exemplary candidate for SAM Teacher of the Year due to her unwavering dedication to innovation and educational excellence. She has championed the integration of SAM Labs at Crosswell Elementary as an early adopter to integrating computer science into the general education curriculum, so all students have access to foundational skills in computer science. After receiving specialized training during her winter break, Dr. Merritt has consistently implemented standards-aligned experiences that not only engage students but also foster deep understanding and mastery of concepts. This includes the lessons of creating a dimmer, street light, and working with a few students on designing cars. One notable example of her innovative teaching approach is when she used SAM Labs to conduct an engaging lesson for the solar eclipse, providing her students with hands-on learning experiences before students experienced this phenomena in real life. She truly brings the real-world into the classroom, while also teaching problem-solving and computational thinking strategies. Dr. Merritt supports and encourages her fellow teachers to adopt innovative solutions like SAM labs in their own classrooms to ensure that all students have equitable access to STEM education.
We are blessed to call Dr. Merritt a Crosswell Cub!
