Regina Golder-Shepa
Regina teaches kindergarten at Kinser Elementary School in Okinawa, Japan. She received her B.S. from Tuskegee Institute and her Elementary Education Certification from the University of Arizona. "Quality teaching comes from collegiality. Collegiality is the most important element in the success of the commitment to school improvement. Collaboration improves performance. Envision in your mind each day to share something or ask someone to share with you. If no teacher is left behind, then no child will be left behind." A colleague writes, "Regina is not only a wealth of educational knowledge but her peers call on her daily for suggestions and support. She always makes the extra effort to know what you might need and offers suggestions or materials."
