News release from Fort Wayne Community Schools:<\/p>\n

South Side History teacher named FWCS Teacher of the Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(May 24, 2013) – South Side High School World History Teacher Emily Oberlin has been named the 2013 Fort Wayne Community Schools Teacher of the Year. Oberlin began her teaching career six years ago and has spent the last three years at South Side, joining the school when it became a LEAD school.<\/p>\n

Oberlin was selected as Teacher of the Year because of her dedication to bringing World History to life for students and connecting with students in areas where it matters – in serving and caring for others. When a student came to her earlier this year mourning a coach who had died, Oberlin helped her find a way to express her grief and simultaneously honor her coach. From that, “Let it Be Known” was born, a movement that has spread to several other schools in the city. The movement is based on the idea of letting others know how much they are appreciated and loved. South Side students and staff created a video sharing their thoughts and feelings about others in the building.<\/p>\n
