Berkeley Teacher 'Goes Above And Beyond' For Her Students

BERKELEY, NJ — Great teachers matter. In Berkeley, we’re fortunate to have teachers like Michelle Speidel.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Susana Conforti, who nominated Michelle Speidel, of Berkeley:

How do you know the teacher?

We are coworkers, but most importantly, friends.

Kindergarten

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

She goes above and beyond for her class, her coworkers and school. She is always thinking about ways to make things better. In all aspects of her job.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Not only you would be so lucky to have your child in her class, you would be equally as lucky to work with her and be able to collaborate with her. This woman was meant to teach and does it effortlessly while spreading her wisdom onto other teachers, both veteran and new.
