Who Decides Feature Teachers

Once a month during the morning announcements students will hear the term ‘Feature Teacher’. But how exactly is this ‘Feature Teacher’ decided?

“Feature Teacher is one [activity] that the student council puts up.  I’ve been advising [for] 10 years of student council and that was an activity that had started before I did.” explains Social Studies teacher Evan Ronken.

“Each year we have a couple students who are the chairs of the committee; Mattie Lubben and Paul Bjork are two of the chairs right now. They always pick a department area and then we put up a list of all the teachers that are in that department. Later we ask ‘who knows these teachers’ and if we don’t [know them] then I’ll say something about…who they are, and we let the students vote on them.”

“Last month they wanted to do it a little differently. They said ‘we want to feature one of the new teachers.’ So we got a list of all the new teachers put the names on the board; where they teach and everything, and the student council voted on that. And then if anybody that we know is going to retire we try to feature them at some time during the year too.”

Becoming Feature Teacher isn’t an ‘easy’ process; there are many steps that the student body most likely doesn’t know about.  Now we have more insight as to how our ‘Feature Teachers’ are decided.
