Warren County SWCD Educator of the Year

Jamie Dicks has just completed her 13th year of teaching.  For the past four years, she has taught 4th grade math and science and is currently the co-teacher leader of the 4th grade math and science department for Mason City Schools.  Previously, she taught 7th and 8th grade math in West Clermont as well as Oak Hills. She graduated with a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Middle Childhood Education from the University of Cincinnati.

This past school year, Jamie was the online content designer for all of the 4th grade Mason Elementary online students.  She created the content for 4th grade online instructors to use with their students and also had an online class of her own.  With the challenges of online learning, she made a point to seek out connections between students and the community by setting up Zoom calls with scientists and other experts around the country.  As part of the final ecocolumns unit in science, Jamie has created an integrated unit all about saving the bees in order to teach students about the interrelationships among species in an ecosystem and the impact that abiotic and biotic factors have on these systems.  Through this unit, Jamie has given students an opportunity to seek positive change in our own ecosystem and educate others about the impact one organism can have on everything around us.  
 
Jamie is passionate about finding new and innovative ways to bring the content standards to life by relating science and math to the real world and finding connections to students so that they can unlock their true potential!
