Erica Foor was nominated by Alina Asseinova, a parent of a student.
"Erica Foor is a true professional," explains Asseinova. "She has a personal approach to each child. In her science class, she presents the material in an interesting and accessible way. Her students are happy to study even difficult topics and learn them easily. As a teacher, she does not lead a lesson according to a template, just so she can tick off what she needs to teach and go about her business. Instead, Ms. Foor discusses different life situations and how to behave with her students. From the point of view of a psychologist, she tells fourth-graders how the human brain works and its reactions in various situations.
"If all teachers treated their work with such responsibility, enthusiasm, and love, you can be sure that their school will bring up your child as a literate and kind person," said Asseinova.
