Mrs. Jerome is a fantastic teacher and epitomizes what it means to be a Ruckel teacher, according to Ruckel Middle School (RMS), which chose her as its inaugural Teacher of the Month recipient.

“Mrs. Jerome consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that her students receive a high-quality education and have an enjoyable classroom experience,” said RMS.

As the chair of the 6th-grade team, the STEMM team coach, and a teacher mentor, Mrs. Jerome also routinely facilitates classroom visits by other teachers so they may learn from her excellent teaching methods.

Three of Mrs. Jerome’s ten years of teaching have been spent at RMS. When she is not teaching, Mrs. Jerome enjoys reading and traveling.

RMS says that Mrs. Jerome is exceptional in fostering a hands-on learning atmosphere. She adds a variety of hands-on activities into her classes so her students can actively connect with the subject matter.

Ms. Jerome provides her students ample opportunities to explore and apply their knowledge through science experiments, group projects, and manipulatives.
