FPHTW Best Teacher Winner: Alyssa Skiff, East Hanover Middle School
By JENNIFER L. NELSON
SPECIAL TO FLORHAM PARK HANOVER THIS WEEK
Lifelong
Whippany resident Alyssa
Skiff isn’t afraid to bring some fun into
her classroom, where she has been
teaching Spanish to grades six, seven, and eight at East Hanover Middle
School for two years.
“I try to keep class fun. I pay attention to what the students enjoy, and
what’s effective,” she said.
A graduate of the education program at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Skiff has always
harbored a love of learning. She has
known that she wanted to pursue a
career in teaching since childhood.
“My teachers and coaches inspired
me to become a teacher. They became role models to me and I knew
that, someday, I wanted to have
that same effect on my students,”
she said. “I chose to teach middle
school because the students are so
great at that age…they keep the job
interesting, and definitely keep me
laughing.”
Though Spanish is not her first language, Skiff said it was her favorite
subject to study when she was a student. “I learned Spanish the same
way that most of my students are
learning the language — through
school,” she said. “There are so
many benefits to speaking another
language, and even if my students
don’t realize that now, someday they
will. The students come to me with
little exposure to the language, and
seeing their improvement throughout
the year is truly rewarding.”
When it comes to her personal
teaching style, Skiff knows how to
retain her students’ interest in the
language. She and her students all
enjoy playing original games as well
as classics like Jeopardy, Scrabble,
Bingo, and “Guess Who?” to reinforce the concepts they’re learning
in class. “The games keep class fun,
but are educational at the same
time,” she said.
Her eighth grade students also
maintain online pen-pals who live
Spain, and are learning English while
her students practice their Spanish.
“The project helps the students practice reading and writing in Spanish,
while they learn about the culture
and life in Spain,” she said. “The pen
pals share stories about their families,
towns, school, and holidays.”
Outside of the classroom, Skiff is
a coach who enjoys running and
reading in her spare time, in addition

to spending time with her parents,
brother, and sisters.
“There are so many amazing, dedicated teachers in the district, and
they inspire me to work hard and do
the best that I can,” Skiff said. “Along
with my students, they’re a huge reason why I love what I do.”
