(KNOX) – – State School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler congratulated Shaina Eagleson, a science teacher at West Fargo’s Sheyenne High School, who has been named a state finalist for the Presidential Award for
Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching.
“It is gratifying to see one of our outstanding North Dakota educators on track to receive a prestigious national award,” Baesler said. “Every one of Ms. Eagleson’s colleagues can attest to her skill in conveying her subject matter in a way that engages her students, fires their enthusiasm for science, and whets their appetites for more knowledge.”
Eagleson’s colleagues said her teaching methods were sensitive to the academic needs of all her students.
Eagleson is “consistently fostering an environment where students are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover,” said Jana Oistad, assistant principal at Sheyenne High. “Shaina creates opportunities for students to apply scientific concepts in real world contexts, helping them see the relevance of science beyond the classroom.”
