Noblesville Schools has named four educators as 2017 Innovative Teachers of the Year. The teachers were nominated by their peers and were then selected for the honor by a committee of teachers and administrators.

The winners are:

  • Kelly Badget, kindergarten at Hazel Dell Elementary
  • Tricia Schreck, 5th grade at Stony Creek Elementary
  • Derek Ruble, 8th grade social studies at Noblesville East Middle School
  • Allison Larty, Spanish at Noblesville High School

One teacher was chosen to represent each academic level: (grades K-2, grades 3-5, grades 6-8 and grades 9-12) and selection focused on teachers who best exemplify Noblesville Schools’ mission and vision. The teachers selected are regularly demonstrating new and exciting ways to connect with their student learners through innovative techniques that spark curiosity and empower students.
