Lisa Mary Eckhoff

Lisa Eckhoff teaches 2nd Grade at Aviano Elementary School in Aviano, Italy. She holds a Masters in Educational Leadership from Florida State University and is a participant in the 2003 DoDEA Aspiring Leaders Institute. A parent states, "Mrs. Eckhoff creates a classroom environment that stimulates her students to learn. Her creativity transformed a normal classroom into ancient lands of the past like Egypt and medieval England." Lisa's commitment to developing a school climate and culture that portrays a sense of family and sharing has led her to be a natural leader. A co-worker comments, "I learn from her all the time, and I'm not sure she even knows this. I look up to her, respect her, and her opinion of me makes a difference."
