Danbury Teacher 'Gives So Much Of Herself For Her Students'

DANBURY, CT — Great teachers matter. In Danbury, we're fortunate to have teachers like Crissa Kopchik.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize teachers and show them how much they’re valued and appreciated.

This submission comes from Casey Clarkson, who nominated her colleague, special education teacher Crissa Kopchik of Danbury.

Why do you believe the teacher should be recognized or honored?

Crissa genuinely cares about her students. She takes time to learn about each and every student on her case load. She is constantly working to find new and innovative ways to reach all learners. She puts in more hours than a regular school day to ensure that she has the right modifications for each student. Crissa is truly inspiring!

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the teacher?

Crissa really cares. She gives so much of herself for her students. Unfortunately, right now, many educators are leaving the profession. Crissa, however, is leaning in and working through struggles to do what is best for her students.
