"It is not about where you are; it is about how much you will grow." This is a quote that is used frequently in Kara Baugues's classroom. Kara is a fifth-grade teacher at Inspire Academy in Muncie. She is an active member of her school community by being involved with the Instructional Leadership Team and the Executive Advisory Team. She prides herself on being authentic with her students. When students take a test like the NWEA or the Achieve 3000 test, she analyzes the data with each student individually. She makes sure that all of the students celebrate the growth that they have made throughout the year. One of the key aspects of Inspire Academy is pushing students to learn outside of school. Each year the students will engage in projects that are outside of the classrooms and allow for students to get involved with the community."
