Noel Green’s career in education has been guided by his desire to build up students, staff and families. As a Social Studies and Physical Education teacher, he was able to influence students to be inquisitive and enthusiastic about learning. Noel used an authentic and experiential approach to instruction which is complementary to the Expeditionary Learning educational model. As a school leader, Noel emphasized strong professional development and support for teachers/staff. It is vital that teachers have access to the best training to elevate their ability to connect with students in a way that grows their excitement around learning. As a school district level director, Noel was able to build capacity with and elevate the voices of our families as they are our most important partners.

Noel is most excited about the opportunity to be part of this community as the enrollment is growing, the students are embracing Expeditionary Learning, and the teachers and support staff have used restorative practices to improve school culture and climate. Student outcomes are increased when they feel safe in their school and also when they feel welcomed and accepted. Noel’s goal is to continue our emphasis around building strong relationships with all of our students, families and the broader community.
