We're proud to share that Anna Sophia Steinki from R. Homer Andrews Elementary School is the 2025 ABSS Beginning Teacher of the Year! 🌟 You'd think she had many more years of experience with how she handles herself in her classroom. 📷 Today's snapshot: In the span of just a few minutes, she teaches her class how to solve a division equation, switching between English and Spanish, engaging the whole class in numerous ways, and circling around to all students to boost their confidence and check their progress. Then she stopped to do two interviews! 🤩 You can see the students respect her greatly and were eager to celebrate her today! As she'll tell you, her own confidence has grown over time thanks to the support of her BT leaders and mentors. We can't wait to show more in an upcoming video and article. For now, join us in saying CONGRATULATIONS to Ms. Steinki!

Ms. Steinki poses with two smiling students who have their arms around her. All three are looking at the camera with warm smiles in the classroom setting with other students visible working in the background.
Ms. Steinki kneels beside a young student who is making a peace sign with her hand. Both are smiling at the camera. The student wears a red and black plaid jacket, and the classroom activity continues behind them.
Ms. Steinki leans over a student's desk, providing one-on-one instruction as the student works on a math worksheet. The teacher is pointing to the student's work while other classmates work independently at their desks in the background. A smartboard displaying a math lesson is visible on the wall.
Image 1: Teacher Anna Sophia Steinki stands at the front of her classroom surrounded by enthusiastic elementary students striking celebratory poses. The students are arranged in two rows on a colorful circular carpet, with some kneeling and others standing, all making excited gestures with their hands raised. A whiteboard behind them shows a division equation (2,800 ÷ 4 = 700) and the date October 1, 2025.
