?? Teacher Spotlight Series: Tonya Lambert ?? Today, we're thrilled to spotlight Tonya Lambert, a dedicated educator at Summerfield Elementary in the CADDO PARISH SCHOOL DISTRICT. Tonya has been a proud educator since graduating from college. She has always aspired to be a teacher and began her career as a substitute teacher for six years before transitioning to a full-time teaching role in her own classroom. This marks her second year at Summerfield Elementary, where she teaches third-grade SPED. Reflecting on her current LRCE experience, Tonya states: "I believe LRCE is a great program, laid out straightforwardly with the schedule, which allows us to anticipate and make necessary arrangements. It provides a conducive environment in classrooms and resources that help us engage effectively with students. Collaborating with teachers from various grades enhances our ability to communicate concepts not only to students but also to middle and high school teachers." Her favorite aspect of LRCE is how it facilitates success and supports the special education program. She highlights its transparency from the outset and the clarity of the curriculum, which covers various topics essential for understanding children with special needs. Tonya emphasizes LRCE's role as an invaluable partner, providing practical advice that yields positive results. Thank you, Tonya, for your unwavering commitment to our students! #lrceteach #championteacher #caddoparishschooldistrict

Reflecting on her LRCE experience, Kristen shares: “I certainly had my doubts and fears, but I can confidently say that?LRCE?made the experience as smooth as possible.

It still felt like a tight-knit community, even over the virtual landscape.” Her favorite part about LRCE is the continued support they offered during my first year of teaching. She states: “Now, as I am nearing the end of my 4th year of being a teacher, I can proudly say that?LRCE?has made me into the teacher I am today.
