We’re celebrating educators during American Education Week

November 18, 2022

This week was American Education Week!

First celebrated in 1921, American Education Week was created by the National Education Association to celebrate educators and build support for public education.

We wanted to celebrate all of the amazing educators and school staff members who are working on behalf of students everywhere and who have either touched our lives or inspired us. Wacom employees nominated school staff members, and on our Instagram page we highlighted five educators who have had a positive impact.

Here are the featured educators, along with what a Wacom team member said about why they were nominated.

Stephanie Mateus, Pioneer Middle School, DuPont, WA

“Stephanie Mateus became a teacher later in life because she has such a love for teaching kids. She has a passion for science and loves the integration of technology and innovation, which is so helpful in connecting with and educating middle school students. Her enthusiasm for teaching is infectious — so much so that her daughter is also becoming a teacher. She is also affecting national change with her involvement in Amplify Science — a collective of educators in the Puget Sound area who are working on a year-long collaboration to enhance the nationwide K-8 science curriculum. Mrs. Mateus is an amazing impactful educator in so many ways.”

Karrie Fansler, Evergreen Public Schools, Vancouver, WA

“Karrie Fansler is an amazing educator. She inspires and supports educators to do their best work with students and staff. Ms. Fansler has experience as an English teacher, and currently supports the design of professional development for many teachers across the school district. Her positive impact is felt from the highest reaches of the district leadership to the student level. She directly supports instructional coaches to provide high quality and impactful professional learning for teachers. She is a ray of hope and sunshine.”

Matt Guertin, Metropolitan Regional Career and Technical Center, Providence, RI

“With 11 years (and counting) dedicated to teaching mathematics and having risen to positions of leadership, Matt has been sharing his infectious enthusiasm for math in ways I can’t always wrap my head around (I’m often in awe of his command of mathematics!). He’s also explored and supported independent film making and can bring a great humor to the screen.”

Colpo alla testa di Michele Dick

Michele Dick, Wacom Technology Corporation, Portland, OR

“Michele is an educator who is devoted to helping other teachers use technology creatively and successfully. From the basics forward, she understands the needs of classroom teachers, because she spent years as a frontline educator. Now, she helps educators harness the power and possibilities of Wacom digital ink technologies to enhance instruction and unleash students’ creativity, communications, and collaboration skills. She’s a go-to expert when it comes to helping shape Wacom’s support for the education community!”
