Mrs. Duncan was born to teach and epitomizes the maxim that kids don't care what you know until they know that you care. She builds relationships with her students naturally, whether through conversations in the classroom or games of chess on the playground. Because her students know she believes in them, they work hard to meet the high standards she sets. Her classroom is truly a discovery zone where curiosity is ignited, questions are celebrated, and every child feels safe to test the boundaries of their abilities. Mrs. Duncan is also a true team player, involved in every aspect of school life at GEAR. She is dependable, professional, fun, and a wonderful co-worker.
