CSTA Future Science Teacher Award:

Guadalupe De La O

Ms. De La O is a dedicated preservice teacher. She is bright, hard working, and committed to becoming an outstanding teacher. She takes advantage of opportunities which will help her grow as a teacher and she is receptive to feedback. I look forward to see where her career takes her. Having watched her mature as a teacher, and having taught with her, I am very confident in saying that I believe she's going to be a great teacher! During her preparation program, she has shown a true commitment to becoming and exemplary science educator and I believe she will continue to grow in the science teacher leader who will guide her own students on to greatness. - Laura Henriques
