鈥淓xemplary teachers and paraprofessionals are hallmarks of 水果派AV解说鈥檚 public education system. Among all our state鈥檚 great educators, Amy Hysick stands out. She brings passion, humor and intelligence to her work. She engages her students and makes science relevant to their lives. Amy understands听learning is a process and that, when students are supported properly, even mistakes and wrong answers can be tremendous learning opportunities,鈥� said NYSUT President Karen E. Magee. 鈥淭hat is the essence of teaching and learning. Everyone at NYSUT joins me in congratulating Amy Hysick on her selection as the 2017 水果派AV解说 State Teacher of the Year.鈥�

鈥淎my, a graduate of Cicero-North Syracuse High School, truly believes in giving back to her community,鈥� said North Syracuse Central School District Superintendent Annette Speach. 鈥淪he is an outstanding educator whose dedication is evidenced beyond her commitment to students in the classroom; a true teacher leader consistently modeling and sharing best practices, an inspiration to all.鈥�

鈥淲e are very proud of Amy鈥檚 leadership and dedication to education,鈥� said Cicero-North Syracuse High School Executive Principal William LaClair. 鈥淗er commitment to the education of all students is inspiring and she continues to not only motivate her students but her colleagues as well.鈥�

Hysick, a lifelong resident of the Syracuse area, was educated in the North Syracuse Central School District and returned there for her teaching career. She is a graduate of Binghamton University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Master of Arts in Secondary Education with a specialization in Biology. She holds permanent 水果派AV解说 State Certifications in Biology (7-12) and Chemistry (7-12).

Hysick believes that building relationships with students is the key to unlocking their motivation and engaging them. One way she fosters relationships with her own students is by housing the school鈥檚 reptile collection in her classroom. She uses her sewing skills to create 鈥渙ver-the-top鈥� costumes to support school Spirit Week, and other school events, to further connect with students and help to build a positive school culture.听 Volunteer activities through her church help to strengthen ties with students, families and the community outside the school setting.

Hysick is committed to the success of all students and participates in a variety of professional learning communities designed to increase student achievement. Among these is an online forum of science educators from the United States and Canada where Hysick discusses topics pertinent to her own classroom experience, and shares resources and teaching materials. Locally, Hysick has worked with colleagues to lead the creation and implementation of instructional strategies to more effectively reach students with a variety of learning styles and the development of strategies targeted at success for at-risk students.

In the coming year, Hysick will serve as an ambassador for teachers throughout the state and will be the 水果派AV解说 State nominee for the National Teacher of the Year.
