Cathryn O'Brien, a teacher at Riverside Middle School, reminds us that the most powerful learning happens when we design for transfer. Her approach to argumentative writing shows what's possible when we help students connect skills across subjects and contexts. This is exactly the kind of thoughtful, student-centered instruction we celebrate at Crestwood.

When Amanda Mersek talks about learning that sticks, she's talking about the kind of teaching that transforms a classroom. As a teacher at Riverside Middle School, Amanda brought High Touch High Tech into her 5th grade science lessons this past school year, turning abstract concepts into tangible moments of discovery. Her commitment to hands-on, real-world learning experiences reflects exactly the kind of educational excellence we celebrate across Crestwood. This is what great teaching looks like.
