Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 is pleased to announce Brooke Snyder has been named the 2022 USD 383 Master Teacher.
Snyder is a fourth-grade teacher at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. She began her teaching career at Ogden Elementary School in 2008 and has been a teacher at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School since 2011.
“Students also have choice in how they learn,” said Snyder in her application. “It is common practice for my lessons to provide opportunities for independent, partner, small group, or teacher guided learning. While not a reliable form of assessment, I know a lesson is successful when I have students who linger.”
Snyder will represent USD 383 in the Emporia State University 2022 Kansas Master Teacher award program. The Kansas Master Teacher program honors 7 active or retired Kansas Pre-K-12 teachers each year. 29 teachers from USD 383 have been named Kansas Master Teachers since 1961. Since 1954, select teachers from schools across the state have nominated, selected, and named Kansas Master Teachers. Since 1980, Bank of America has pledged more than $100,000 to permanently endow the Kansas Master Teacher awards.
