Anne Arundel County Public Schools 2016 Teacher of the Year

Headshot of Katrina Griffin

"I am the guide and facilitator in the classroom, planning for learning and providing resources and space for students to become proficient in the German language and culture. It is not my job to tell students what to think, rather it is my responsibility to teach them how to think."

 

   - Katrina Griffin
