I chose to nominate Mr Leadbetter because of his kindness, empathy, and joy he brings to his classroom everyday. He always has an amazing attitude toward his students and learning. Mr Leadbetter really understands us because he teaches students in a way that is easy to understand and he is always willing to put in the work to help out students. Mr Leadbetter always is very talkative and finds a way to make his class laugh and have fun even on Monday mornings. Mr Leadbetter is such a laid back, chill teacher. He understands that as teenagers we can't just sit in silence and do worksheets all day, he lets us bond with our friends and makes us still be able to have fun with our friends in class. Mr Leadbetter has amazing dedication to his students and teaching and that is why I nominated him for Apple Awards for 2024!
