Eanes Elementary third grade teacher Maci Shannon was named Eanes ISD Educator of the Year at last night's Employee Recognition and Retiree dinner.

Mrs. Shannon has been teaching 13 years, the past five in Eanes ISD. During her time at Eanes Elementary, she has served in a variety of vital roles including team leader, Central Texas Writing Project Mentor, District third grade math and social studies leader, and she has served on the Digital Learning Task Force, League of Innovators, and Campus Leadership Team.

Mrs. Shannon exudes grace, poise, and confidence, innovatively meeting the needs of all of her students each and every year. She is known as a lead learner in the area of seamless technology integration to skillfully use technology devices as creation stations versus avenues for app exploration only. Mrs. Shannon is a phenomenal leader, humble to the core. She is thoughtful, creative, and kind, and a wonderful asset to Eanes Elementary and Eanes ISD.

The nine campus winners participated in an interview process to select the 2018 District Educator of the Year. The Westlake Rotary Club sponsors the award and Rotary members serve on the District selection committee. The Westlake Rotary Club recognized all nine Educators of the Year at a Rotary meeting held today.

One way to support your child in growing into a successful adult is to teach responsible decision making. In order for a child to learn the skill of making responsible decisions, the child must have the opportunity to make a decision and experience the consequences of his/her own decision. Our children may make quick decisions that are “rash, egocentric and short-sighted” without fully exploring the impact of their decision. They may even make a poor choice that has painful consequences. As parents it is difficult to watch our children struggle with consequences; however, it is our role as caring parents to do so.

Parents can start to teach their children the skill of decision-making at a young age, although decision-making is a “complex process that takes years to master”. Read the article Raising Good Decision Makers by Dr. Jim Taylor to learn more about how to teach your child the skill of decision-making.

The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed by Jessica Lahey and How to Raise an Adult: Break Free of the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kid for Success by Julie Lythcott-Haims are two books that address the importance of allowing children to experience the consequences of their actions.
