Lauren Bauer - 3rd Grade Teacher - Douglas Intermediate School
Tact, humor, intelligence, enthusiasm, drive, empathy, and a love of teaching are all characteristics of a top-notch teacher. Throw in a thirst to learn, willingness to share, and overwhelming involvement and you have Lauren Bauer. She has quickly proven to be an outstanding educator to students, and adults alike.
Mrs. Bauer’s classroom is comfortable and challenging. She is able to reach students of varying ability and background. Mrs. Bauer utilizes technology daily, raising the level of engagement with her students. She is caring and nurturing with students, yet maintains high expectations for their learning and behavior.
Mrs. Bauer does not limit her teaching to students. She is currently the acting mentor for two teachers new to the building. In addition, Mrs. Bauer is hosting a student teacher through the spring. She is the 3rd grade representative for the DIS Leadership Team and continues to work on her master’s in administration.
Lauren Bauer’s positive attitude, coupled with her effectiveness as a teacher and leader, make her worthy of our district’s admiration and gratitude.
