From Ukiah Unified
Ukiah Unified School District (UUSD) is proud to announce that Kristen Tangren, a dedicated math teacher at Eagle Peak Middle School, has been named the California League of Middle Schools (CLMS) State Educator of the Year.
The award honors outstanding middle school teachers who inspire students, earn the respect of their communities, and exemplify educational excellence.
At the awards ceremony last weekend in Monterey, California, Kristen and other regional nominees were evaluated by CLMS committee members based on their speeches. The topic for the speeches was “advice you would give to new teachers.”
Tangren’s speech focused on the importance of self-care in teaching and the need for strong academic structures in the middle school classroom. Nominees were also evaluated based on recommendation letters, with Eagle Peak Principal Dan Stearns writing Tangren’s nomination.
Principal Stearns praised Tangren, stating, “She is so deserving of this recognition as she is an exceptional teacher who cares deeply for her students. It’s also great to see our little school in Redwood Valley recognized at the state level. It’s like we won a sports state championship.”
“This award is about collaboration,” said Tangren. “When we work together as a team, we achieve results. This award is for all of the teachers and staff at Eagle Peak.”
Also attending the CLMS ceremony in support of Kristen were Jessica Frazer, 6th grade English teacher at Eagle Peak, and Kristen’s parents Lori and Steve Schaumleffel, who traveled from Florida to be at the event. This Thursday at Eagle Peak, Tangren (was) honored for her award in front of the entire school at an assembly.
Now in her 21st year of teaching and seventh at Eagle Peak, Tangren remains a source of inspiration for both students and colleagues through her passion and commitment to education.
CLMS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting middle school educators and promoting academic and personal success for young adolescents through professional development and resources.
