I had the opportunity to shadow Mr. Ike Strege at Sand Creek Intermediate in Fishers, IN, on November 6th. As a 6th grade teacher for Math and Social Studies, Mr. Strege exemplifies dedication through personal connections with his students. Strategies like giving nicknames and providing tailored study advice create an engaging learning environment. His approach encourages student responsibility and promotes small-class feel despite a large school setting. He actively checks in on students, fostering a supportive atmosphere where every learner is valued.

Shadowing Mr. Strege Kristen Gruber ED 112
Who is he? • Name: Ike Strege • Teaches at Sand Creek Intermediate in Fishers, IN. • Teaches 6th grade Math, Social Studies • Shadowed on Nov. 6th
I learned.. • That giving students a nickname shows that you care, and makes them want to care too. It helps increase their effort, something the article “Stuck in the Middle” said would engage Middle School learners. • That making something personal helps students to relate, something I’ll use in my philosophy.
I learned.. • That helping students study with tips, tricks, and advice will help them in the future. • He’s demonstrating teaching/learning/mentoring, helping them acquire good skills for the future. • Teaching the students to be responsible for themselves and not relying on their parents to push them.
I learned… • That the best teachers are the ones who ask you “How’s it going?” • He has 120 students, yet he knows when one is absent and makes sure to ask about it.
I learned.. • That even though it’s a big school, he still makes it feel like you’re in a small class. • He goes around and helps each and every person who needs it. • He even helps with tutoring in the morning.
