Leader in Me Spotlight: Kelsi Firsick
Hi! My name is Kelsi Firsick and this is my third year at iLEAD Lancaster teaching 5th grade. I am a member of The Lighthouse team as well as an iSPIRIT coach. The reason behind my “why” for iLEAD Lancaster is that I am able to teach as uniquely as my learners learn. iLEAD allows me to meet each of my learners’ individual needs without compromising the education of the class as a whole. I love that I can go from teaching math with food, to ELA with an art project, to science with hands-on experiments, all in a day’s work.
Learners take ownership of their education in my classroom, and it allows them to feel accomplished and responsible when a goal is achieved or a math lesson finally clicks. I love iLEAD because of the small “family feel.” I am able to create and maintain relationships with not only my own learners and their families, but also with learners from kinder all the way to high school.
Once word that describes me: Diligent
