“Mr. Ramey is an amazing math and science teacher. He has shown the critical ability to make these complex subjects come to life for his students in unique and creative ways. He is highly deserving of this recognition,” said Dr. Arrington.
Mr. Ramey teaches sixth grade math and science at Vicenza Middle School. Mr. Ramey believes in the importance of teaching the content standards but is also focused on bringing math alive through interactive and engaging lessons. He is passionate about finding opportunities to support military connected students and the unique challenges they face. He believes in the power that schools have in shaping the minds and hearts of future generations and takes that responsibility as a personal mission.
“In order for information to be securely held by students, lessons must be presented and implemented in creative and memorable ways,” Ramey says. “Creative and memorable lessons are possibly even more important when it comes to math education as this approach serves to create lasting impressions and promote lifelong learning.”
