Class Act Teacher Ada Rogers focuses on finding each child's learning style.
Atlanta - Ada Rogers mesmerizes kids when she reads aloud to them.
"She has a funny accent " said Ivy Smith, a third grade student in Rogers' at R.M. Moore Elementary in Cherokee County.
As she reads, her third grade students know to do something important.
"I'm like playing a little movie. She told us she's not going to show us the pictures, just show a little movie in your head," said Jake Manus, another third grader in Rogers' class.
Rogers knows intuitively, just what excites kids about learning.
She knows how to help kids find their own learning styles and what they need to work productively.
"We just for a long time we assume, they're ready to sit," said Rogers. "They're not ready to sit. For a long time each day kids are expected to sit and you're saying, that's not a good thing? No we need to have that movement in there, even for the old people like me, you know."
Rogers also offers incentives for students to do well. The children are assigned jobs and are "paid" for their work with money they spend every two weeks in the classroom store.
"I want my children to be lifelong learners. So you want to bring things into the classroom that are authentic," said Rogers.
It's also a behavior management technique.
"It's all about choices that we make in life. Whether you're a third grader. Whether you're a high schooler," Rogers said.
If students get in trouble, money is deducted from their bank book, that they not only must keep up-to-date, but be ready for an audit.
"No matter what you ask her to do, she's always a team player. She makes the room creative. She challenges students and you can tell that all the students, they want to be here and they can't wait to see what she's going to come up with next," said Principal Jane Adamson of Rogers.
"I do love this job. It just kind of gets into your system and when you and when you step away from it for the summer, you know that teacher itch keeps coming back," said
"She's a dynamic teacher and we're just lucky to have here."
