D.C. teacher Kelly Harper is one of 4 finalists for National Teacher of the Year. Here's a glimpse inside her enthusiastic, energetic and impressive third grade classroom.
By Perry Stein Perry Stein Reporter covering D.C. education Email Bio Follow April 14 at 6:20 PM A day for Kelly Harper runs roughly 13,000 steps — back and forth, back and forth around her classroom. That’s about six miles for the 29-year-old teacher. The large pink jug of water she keeps at her desk is crucial for the marathon-plus she completes each week.
Harper, a third-grade teacher at Amidon-Bowen Elementary School in Southwest Washington, was named the city’s teacher of the year and is one of four finalists in the national competition. No D.C. teacher has won the national honor since 2005. This month, she also won The Washington Post’s annual education competition, claiming the title of Teacher of the Year in the Washington region.
He graduated from college and became a business owner. This year, he bought ties for all of the boys in her class and taught the students how to tie them. Harper’s goal is to build a classroom full of independent 8-year-olds who know their capabilities and can push their classmates with them.
