Tucson Values Teachers (TVT) presented the December Teacher Excellence Award to Lisa Aukee, a teacher at Canyon Del Oro High School in Amphitheater Public Schools. Ms. Aukee has been teaching for more than 20 years and currently teaches Spanish and AP Psychology.
Aukee received two nominations, both from parents of current students. Rachelle Ferris wrote, “My student comes home talking about the new things she has learned and the fun ways they get to practice the content.” Ferris went on to write, “Through her words and actions, she instills a sense of self-belief and resilience in her students, motivating them to strive for excellence in all aspects of life. The hallmark of Ms. Aukee’s teaching style is its engagement and authenticity.”
Shey Meyers, who also nominated Aukee for the award, described her as a caring and dedicated teacher. “I appreciate all she does for my child and the entire CDO community.”
