Leah Friar has been teaching for 21. She is currently a Co-STEM Coordinator and 7th Grade ELAR teacher at Olle Middle School in Alief ISD.  Her many accolades include years of teaching as well as being Olle Middle School’s Teacher of the Year.
I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Friar for my whole career and she has incredible aura about her presence. She exudes hope, wisdom and positivity about education and for the kids. In part 1, we cover some of her early teaching stories and how she progressed along her journey as a teacher. She mentions the importance of instilling hope into today's youth. There are so many takeaways from both parts of these episodes and I’m so grateful that she shared with us her positive outlook and insight.
