In 2018, Dallas Fields was awarded with the Sanford Harmony, National University, Teacher of the Year for Oklahoma (now called the National University Inspire Teacher Award). Recently Ms. Fields was asked to participate in a Podcast called “What the World Needs Now.” Hosted by Josh Monroe and Tom Whisinnand, previous Inspire Teacher of the Year award winner.

These educators designed this podcast to network with fellow teachers and to reignite their passion for education. This community also retains great teachers who may find themselves struggling to remain in the field of education due to the many frustrations that teachers always face, especially in the time of a global pandemic when challenges have multiplied greatly atop the usual stresses.

Inspire Teacher Award is an award granted to teachers who inspire others in the field of education and whose passion for their career has led them to innovate and inspire students and colleagues while they pursue their careers. It’s a national award granted that offers state winners a $10,000 cash award and the national grand prize winner $50,000. The award is designed to reward teachers’ creativity, passion, and innovation in the classroom inspire others to reignite their own passions for teaching.

Message from the Superintendent – July 2023

Dear Alumni, Donors, and Friends: Last month Assistant Principal Mary Lakey and I had the tremendous opportunity to attend the National Charter Schools Conference (NCSC 23) in Austin, TX. NCSC 23 proved to be a remarkable experience providing opportunities to exchange innovative ideas, gain insights into emerging educational practices, and connect with passionate individuals who share our commitment to providing exceptional education. As I reflect on our participation in NCSC 23, I am reminded of a quote from author Jim Stovall that resonates deeply with me: “Education is a lifelong journey whose destination expands as you travel.” I firmly believe that investing in professional development not only benefits our dedicated faculty and staff but also translates into enhanced educational experiences for our students. It is through ongoing education that we continue to provide high-quality arts-integrated instruction and nurture the talents of each student at Harding Fine Arts Academy. I would like to express my gratitude for your unwavering support in our pursuit of professional development opportunities. It is your belief in our mission and your dedication to the growth of our school that empowers us to continually strive for excellence. As we move forward, we will be sharing the knowledge and insights gained at NCSC 23 with our faculty and staff, incorporating innovative practices into our classrooms, and leveraging our learnings to create an even more vibrant and engaging educational environment for our students. Thank you once again for your ongoing support and for being an integral part of the Firehawk Family. Together, let us continue to embrace the value of lifelong learning and empower our students to achieve their dreams and make a positive impact on the world. Yours in ARTS, Taylor C. Stanton Superintendent Harding Fine Arts Academy
