Mrs. Susan Shoopman
Welcome!
Welcome to 2nd grade at Wilson! I am looking forard to a fantastic year! This year starts my 13th year of teaching, and my 4th year here at Wilson. My family and I moved to Oro Valley in 2016 from Florida, and we love our beautiful community. My husband, Chad, is a professor that the University of Arizona. We have an amazing daughter, Sophia. We love spending time together and playing with our dog, Isabelle.
Defining Moment in Education
My defining moment in education is not one moment but many throught my career. When a student has an "aha" moment, when I see my students collaborate and are enthusiastic about learning, when a student surpassess his or her goal or makes more growth than expected, when I receive a kind note from a parent expressing appreciation, or when students help each other without being asked - These are all the defining moments that inspire me and remind me I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
Core Eduational Beliefs
I believe that it is my repsonsiblibity to help my students succeed and that learning should be fun! I strive to make my classroom a place where students learn to love learning and are inspired to be their best.
