It’s Teacher Tuesday, and we are spotlighting Boulder Valley School District’s Jared Riesel -- a teacher librarian at Eldorado PK-8 School who has been an educator for 16 years! “Being a teacher librarian offers an opportunity to amplify the amazing things happening in classrooms and bring my own expertise and interests into the mix,” Jared said. “I love creating memorable, engaging learning experiences for students.” The most rewarding part of teaching is building relationships with students and families, he said. “I love learning about students as individuals and developing that trust over the years." Outside of school, Jared enjoys cooking, playing music, traveling, reading and spending time with family.
