February 2024 Teacher of the Month

In cooperation with the Mayor's office and City Council, the Rotary Club of Okla. City recognizes an outstanding teacher in our community
Lauren Dile, Kindergarten teacher in Edmond Public Schools, has been named Teacher of the Month for February 2024, and was 2023 District Teacher of the Year for Edmond Public Schools, 
Lauren received her bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education with Special Distinction from the University of Oklahoma, is an Apple Certified Educator and a Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling Certified Educator. She is a member of the Edmond Public Schools Peer Coaching Academy, the Purposeful Play Committee, and the Foundation Advisory Board.
Lauren has taught Kindergarten at West Field Elementary since 2019, serves as the Kindergarten Team Lead, serves on the West Field Professional Learning Community Leadership Team, and has also served as the West Field Site Conscious Discipline Coach.  She is also a mentor to UCO student teachers. 
Lauren came to teaching because of a desire to see students with special needs thrive in the general education classroom, and a desire to teach in a manner that values the whole child.  Lauren has made it her mission to make every student feel valued and loved for who they are, to help all students achieve high levels of learning by all means, and to equip her fellow educators with the knowledge and empathy they need in order to accomplish the same.

Lauren Dile  was presented with a certificate of recognition as well as a $500 gift from the Rotary Club 29 Foundation AND a $500 gift from the Oklahoma City Public Schools Foundation in partnership with the American Fidelity Foundation.
