EXCERPTS from comments by colleagues: "Mrs. Webeck chooses to work with boys and girls because she likes to see the light bulb go on." "She is blessed with a keen intellect and has the talent to do whatever she chooses, but -- fortunately for many boys and girls - she has a passion to be a teacher of upper elementary students." "She went back to college while raising three children, and is near completion of her Ph.D. degree. Already, she has taught at the college level, supervised student teachers, successfully authored nine grants, and serves on the Professional Development School's steering committee." "She has a dynamic classroom, and leaves no stone unturned in finding people and activities for her fourth and fifth grade students as she did in creating her social studies unit about law in Indiana and the U.S. Constitution, then inviting lawyers to take part in their 'We the People' project."
