From Ukiah Unified
Ukiah Unified School District (UUSD) is proud to announce that Kristen Tangren, a dedicated math teacher at Eagle Peak Middle School, has been named the California League of Middle Schools (CLMS) Educator of the Year for Region 1.
The award honors outstanding middle school teachers who inspire students, earn the respect of their communities, and exemplify educational excellence. Tangren will represent Region 1 in the state competition this March.
Eagle Peak Principal Dan Stearns praised Tangren, stating, “Kristen is one of the most dedicated and exceptional educators I’ve worked with in my 30 years in education. She is relentlessly student-centered, exceptionally collaborative, and inspirationally caring.”
Known for her innovative teaching, Tangren recently participated in a Mendocino County Office of Education project that highlighted her ability to foster critical thinking in math. The resulting video has been shared as a model of instructional excellence.
Beyond the classroom, Tangren plays a key role at Eagle Peak as math department chair, Academic Leadership Team member, Title VI Native American committee member, Professional Learning Community Leadership Network member, and Eagle Peak Academic Leadership Team member. She also leads enriching experiences for students, including trips to the Exploratorium and Golden Gate Bridge, interdisciplinary Greek Olympics units, and an upcoming summer trip to New York City and Washington, D.C.
Students and colleagues alike admire Tangren’s dedication. A student shared, “She always finds different ways to explain a problem until it clicks,” while a colleague noted, “Kristen is a mentor for the entire math department and always goes out of her way to help.”
Now in her 21st year of teaching and seventh year at Eagle Peak, Tangren continues to inspire students and colleagues with her passion and commitment to education.
CLMS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting middle school educators and promoting academic and personal success for young adolescents through professional development and resources.
