Dr. Kiely

Lindsay Kiely said she typically wakes up around 5:13 a.m., if not slightly before.

In three words to describe herself based on her colleagues, she said, “They would describe me as kind, organized, and communicative.”

Advice Kiely would give to first year teachers includes embracing the unknown and being positive. 

“Each day for the next 30 years you may leave the doors with more questions than answers. Learn from these questions and frustrating experiences and stay positive,” Kiely stated. “Your students will be more engaged when they are encouraged and feel a sense of belonging within your class. Their futures depend on your kindness and encouragement.”
