Schaumburg School District 54

In her role as a literacy specialist at Nathan Hale Elementary School, Nicole Fagan says she has the best of all worlds. During the day, she supports students in kindergarten through second grade during literacy acceleration time. As a former kindergarten teacher, she likes welcoming students to school. “I love that I can spark their love for learning,” she said. “I like seeing their growth from year to year, and building relationships with them and their families.” When she’s not working with students, Nicole also supports teachers, attending the kindergarten, first-grade and second-grade professional learning communities. “During plan time we look at each student and their needs and decide who can best support them,” she said. “I support them but I learn so much from each of these teachers too.” Before and after school she works with older students, as the sponsor of the Safety Patrols and Student Ambassadors at Hale. "Nicole is seamlessly able to build relationships with both students and colleagues to make them feel valued," Hale Principal Kristina Macnider said. Nicole had worked at two other districts before coming to Hale School 10 years ago. She said she appreciates the structures in place, the resources and the support provided to teachers. Her advice to new teachers is as follows:  “Don’t be afraid to ask for help, but also be confident in your abilities and the new ideas you bring to your team.” #54StaffSpotlight
