Rebecca Buchanan is an ambitious, motivated, passionate lifelong learner who is currently striving to inspire the 5th grade students in her science class on a daily basis. She spent the last 19 years as a teacher for Aledo ISD and is currently a 5th grade science teacher at McAnally Intermediate School.
Rebecca didn’t realize until she became a teacher that her experiences in the little community of William Penn would have such a great impact in her career choice. In this little community outside of Brenham, Texas Rebecca was surrounded by strong, talented, loving people who helped her develop a deep, meaningful appreciation of others as well as the importance of education.

Instead she continued her job as the merchandising manager and buyer for a women’s clothing store in Brenham, Texas for several years. After moving to the Fort Worth area, Rebecca remained in the business of women’s fashion and continued as the buyer for the boutique in Brenham as well as a boutique in Fort Worth. But, Rebecca not only felt a calling to become a teacher, the perfect teaching position was presented to her. Rebecca began her teaching career 20 years ago as a kindergarten teacher in Aledo. She taught kindergarten for 10 years before taking the position as a science specialist. This is when Rebecca truly found her passion. Teaching science at the elementary level is the most exciting, fulfilling job she could imagine. While she continues to share her passion for science and learning in general, Rebeccas teaching assignment has changed this year. She is now teaching 5th grade science at McAnally Intermediate School and loving every minute of it. While her teaching assignments have changed, she has never had the desire to leave this rewarding …show more content…
This program will begin small, but is anticipated by Rebecca as well as her students to expand into something exceptional. Rebecca is extremely proud and honored to have been nominated several times for the Marva Collins Teaching Excellence Award. While it is certainly an honor to be nominated by one’s peers, it is humbling to be part of an award associated with Marva Collins. Rebecca and Marva Collins share the same passion for quality in the classroom. Like Marva Collins, Rebecca is unimpressed by the fads in the daily classroom and focuses on challenging a child’s imagination.
Rebecca is also very proud and honored to present for the Aledo School District. She is always willing and eager to present during an in-service, summer workshop or simply a staff meeting as she enjoys the chance to share her passion for teaching. She was given the opportunity to host a workshop this summer as well as present micro-messaging during a breakout session at an in-service during this school
