UCTM - Utah Council of Teachers of Mathematics Outstanding Educator

Danica Kester has had a passion for teaching education from an early age. As the daughter of educators, Danica was blessed to be a student in her mother's Montiessori class in early elementary school--not only a student but also helping develop classroom projects with her mom at home.  She also worked side-by-side with her mother in tutoring students after school in the family home.  These experiences were truly a springboard for Danica's desire to teach.  

Following two years of college at BYUI, Danica put her dedication on pause to be a full time mom to her five kids.  During these years she put in countless hours at her children's school by meeting with the teachers to plan and execute authentic learning experiences for the students both in-classroom and out in the community experiential learning projects and, hands on fieldwork.  

Her life experiences and volunteer work have prepared her for the joy she finds now teaching in her own 3rd grade classroom at Greenwood Charter School.  Danica believes strongly that you should love what you teach, but loving who you teach is the most important.
