Ellen Scott is an incredible support at Service High School. Not only an advocate for teachers, Ms. Scott exudes student-centered learning and inquiry in the library. Scott is reliable, organized, and trustworthy. Service High School acting Principal Imtiaz Azzam said this is reflected in her role as mentor to new staff and teachers. “As an instructional coach, her wisdom and expertise as a seasoned ELA teacher shines, said Azzam. “ She is resource-driven and helps teachers implement best practices to achieve student outcomes. She also has cultivated one of the safest and most welcoming places for our students, the library.”
Service High School AP Seminar Teacher Lisa Wiley said Scott is masterful at helping students find academic sources to aid in their research. Wiley said Scott has been instrumental in launching Service High as an AP Capstone school. She works with teachers to train them on AP standards throughout the year. She has traveled out of state annually for training to stay current on educational trends.
Scott has been the award winning coach for the Service Battle of the Books team. Wiley said Scott has created an environment which supports reading recreationally and academically. “Ellen oversaw a massive renovation of the Service High library and has created a welcoming, intellectual space for all to enjoy. Ellen has been an invaluable educator, mentor, and resource to Service High students and teachers”.
She has supported many teachers with getting the required professional development needed for recertification. Scott has also volunteered to be a union representative for Service.
