Metropolitan Milwaukee Alliance of Black School Educators Teacher of the Year, Bette Annette Davis said. “My philosophy is, ‘I teach my scholars’.
“As a science teacher at Milwaukee Environmental Sciences Academy, my overarching goal is to engage my scholars with enthusiasm and teach them how to speak and articulate scientific data with clarity. I love STEM! (Science Technology Engineering and Math) So, let’s face it; our scholars must be able to compete as future STEM professionals. Daily, I tell my scholars they are scientifically amazing. Lastly, it is my privilege to ultimately infuse an attitude of positive scientific awareness of the amazing world of science. Also, I believe, math teaches you how…but science teaches you why?” Bette was awarded the honor on Friday, May 5, 2023, at the Wisconsin Center.
