Ms. Karen Crider has taught at Miami Lakes Educational Center for more than five years, all of this time as a full-time teacher. She exhibits excellent work ethic and professionalism. It is amazing to find such constant striving to improve in a teacher, when there are virtually no extrinsic motivations or rewards for doing so, is truly admirable. We believe the time has arrived to formally and materially acknowledge Ms. Karen Crider?s significant contributions to the school.
We as a class have been very impressed by Ms. Karen Crider?s work in the Nursing arena. As our instructor, she works tirelessly to emphasize objectives and skills of importance, she then takes action to make sure we apply and master them. She spends hours at school teaching IV classes, review classes, as well as night nursing classes. She does this with one goal in mind, produce a competent nurse that knows how to think and apply themselves to the fullest. She also participates in the Health Occupational Students of America fund-raising events to elevate the visibility of the Association and gets other members involved.
The best reflection of Ms. Karen Crider?s skills lies in her student outcome. During the last five years at MLEC, Ms. Crider?s didactic graduates have a hiring rate of 100%. Much of this is due to the extensive time and preparation Ms. Crider puts into the student learning experience and professional application of procedures. The passing rate on her last NCLEX Registration Examination was 100% for the didactic graduates and 96% for the coordinated high school students. Nursing graduate evaluations of the program, following clinical or job placements, have consistently been positive.
In conclusion Ms. Crider is passionate about teaching nursing and improving the quality of health care instruction at the school. As a teacher, she is known for her ability to create a supportive classroom community while still providing a rigorous course. Her teaching ratings are consistently high, you can even find students blogging about her on the internet. Ms. Crider is able to be as effective as she is because she is a passionate nurse, having worked in the field for over 15 years, and even taught college-level nursing classes at Miami Dade College. Her desire to diversify and proficiency in teaching Nursing, has undoubtedly led to her selection as Teacher of the Year.
