Elementary school teacher Lisa Moe, who teaches fourth grade at Butterfield Ranch Elementary School in Chino Hills, California, will appear on television today in an episode of the show Mission Unstoppable. The episode will be broadcast at 9:00 am on KCBS-TV.
In her appearance, Lisa will describe her instructional strategies for building her students’ confidence and leadership abilities through Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) activities. Lisa, who promotes a “Yes, I can” mindset in her classroom, believes all students can excel in STEM activities.
Lisa’s curriculum emphasizes projects that provide ample opportunities for the kids to create something that make a positive contribution to the lives of others. For example, her students have created a home-made Roomba-style vacuum cleaner for the classroom that picks up pencil shavings and a cuddly robot dog that soothes children to sleep.
Lisa earned her Bachelor’s degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2014. She completed the requirements for her first Master’s degree from the University of California, Irvine, in 2016, and her second Master’s in Education Technology from California State University, Fullerton, in 2020. In addition, she is certified in Gifted & Talented Education (GATE), New Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and Micro:bit Robotics.
Lisa inaugurated her career as an educator by working as a substitute for two years, followed by a one-year stint as an Intervention Specialist in the Corona Norco Unified School District in Corona, California. She has taught in Chino Hills for the past five years.
For her work in the classroom, Lisa has earned many accolades. The exceptional educator was named the 2020 Edwin Carr recipient in Educational Technology through California State University, Fullerton. She also garnered the honor of 2021 IACUE Blended and Online Educator of the Year.
Congratulations, Lisa Moe!
