Over her eight years in RISD, she has fostered a safe learning environment where students aren\u2019t afraid to take risks and grow from their mistakes. As a member of her school\u2019s event planning committee and co-sponsor of their broadcasting team, Mary works to improve the lives of students and staff alike. Her dedication and enthusiasm shine through in all that she does. Congratulations Mary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liberty Junior High\u2019s Ernie Huben is the secondary teacher of the year! His unique use of incorporating music and video games in the classroom to create engaging lessons is just a part of what makes him an outstanding teacher. Not only does Ernie cultivate meaningful relationships with his students, but he also acts as a mentor to his fellow staff members. With his 27 years of experience, Ernie works as a PLC lead to guide and support staff with his knowledge and advice. His work within RISD has supported hundreds of students and staff over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations again to Mary Altman and Ernie Huben! These two teachers epitomize caring for every student, every day. #RISDBelieves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"16525\" src=\"https:\/\/web.risd.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023-STARS-Teacher-Mary-Altman-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"mary altman\" class=\"wp-image-16525\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"16528\" src=\"https:\/\/web.risd.org\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Ernie-Huben-Liberty-Junior-High-740x1024.jpg\" alt=\"ernie huben\" class=\"wp-image-16528\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary Altman is a sixth-grade teacher at Prestonwood Elementary.
