Working together to ensure student success
We cannot fail in our collective mission to facilitate the path toward learning, understanding and reasoning.
We must teach our students the skills that will empower their future, but we must also recognize that we are
building and shaping each generation’s ability to discern, create and contribute.
Find and maintain your inspiration for teaching, because when teachers are inspired, they are able to inspire others.
Find inspiration through your professional organizations. Seek teaching communities that rekindle your creativity.
Rediscover your own genius through your students.
You are the hope for the future. It is through your efforts that one of your students will find a way to save the
environment, negotiate peace, help those who have been marginalized, and strengthen the country we love so dearly.
TERESA CIANCHETTI, FIELD LOCAL SCHOOLS, 2016 OHIO TEACHER OF THE YEAR,
ADDRESSING THE OEA 2016 SPRING REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLY
Louisville teachers support the community in which our students live, not just inside the classroom, but outside
as well, by building relationships with others and strengthening community bonds.
Building bonds in a community will garner your association support in times of need. But the most important
benefit of building a stronger community—and being identified as being a part of that—is the direct benefit for
your schools and students.
JAMES CALLAN, LOUISVILLE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, SPEAKING ABOUT HIS LOCAL’S WORK TO DEVELOP COMMUNITY
PARTNERSHIPS TO BENEFIT STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS
A public education system that educates students from pre-kindergarten through high school also serves a larger
purpose: the continued improvement of society. Toward that end, students must have the best and the brightest
teachers and support staff to help them achieve success; educators should be well-prepared and have the
support needed to help their students reach their full potential. The system should have the support of and be
accountable to the community, and elected officials must be counted on to support our students throughout their
school experience. Education has, and will always be, a collaboration of all stakeholders who must share in the
responsibility to deliver the best to our society.
THE OEA COMMISSION ON STUDENT SUCCESS IN ITS 2016 REPORT,
“OUR VISION FOR HIGH QUALITY PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR ALL STUDENTS”
Worthington is still a relatively affluent area, so it’s easy to underestimate the amount of need in the community.
But over the course of my work, I have watched the number of students who qualify for free or reduced lunches
grow. We feed them lunch Monday through Friday, but what about the weekends or the many days off from
school?
It is inspirational to see students excited about reaching classroom, grade level and school goals to collect
donations to help feed hungry children through the Buddy Bags program. The whole endeavor is a lesson for
everyone in recognizing the often unseen needs in our community, and how helping to meet some of these needs
can be fun and rewarding.

OEA Leadership Team
Becky Higgins is beginning her second term as OEA President. A first-grade teacher in the Copley-Fairlawn City Schools
with more than 19 years of classroom experience, Becky is a firm believer in the promise of a high quality public education
for every student in Ohio no matter where they live. She believes that the key to a better future for Ohio ‘s educators is to
combine the potential of OEA’s large, diverse, talented membership with responsible, dedicated leadership in Columbus.
Becky recognizes that the challenge of OEA office is to provide strong leadership at the state level while maximizing
the impact of leaders throughout the state. She believes that the success of all students is of prime importance to OEA
members and she will advocate, in all ways possible, for the attainment of teaching and learning conditions for educators
and students that ensure student success.
Becky has served as President of the Copley Teachers’ Association, Member of the Board of Directors and President of
NEOEA. She is Chair of the OEA-FCPE State Council and serves as a board member for We Are Ohio and as a member
of the Ohio Democratic Party Central Committee.
As NEOEA President during the Senate Bill 5 crisis, Becky built a strong base of support for collective bargaining in
northeastern Ohio and has continued that work as she builds coalitions with other labor leaders across Ohio. She knows
that building a strong organizing culture within OEA is crucial in order to meet the challenges public education may face in
the future. Positioning OEA to be the pre-eminent educational labor organization in Ohio is a task she takes very seriously,
and she looks forward to continuing work with other statewide leaders to achieve this goal. Becky Higgins
Scott DiMauro, a high school social studies teacher from Worthington, became OEA Vice President in 2013. He chose
to become a teacher in order to give students the critical thinking and decision-making skills they need to be successful
citizens in our democratic society. It was only natural, then, that he chose to become actively involved in his local union
in order to advocate for his students, fellow educators, and a vibrant system of public education.
Prior to becoming a full-time OEA officer, Scott served for nine years as President of Central OEA/NEA, and has
experience as president of his local, a member of his local bargaining team, chairperson of Central’s leadership and
professional development programs, and political action coordinator. He also led the NEA Legislative Committee for
three years.
As vice president, Scott has served as co-chair of the Healthcare and Pension Advocates for STRS and represents
OEA’s 123,000 members on a variety of coalition boards and steering committees. He chairs the OEA Legislative
Committee and works with OEA’s Government Relations staff to represent educators in the legislature and State Board
of Education. This past year, he was proud to help lead efforts of the OEA Commission on Student Success to lay out
a comprehensive vision for high quality education for all students and lay the groundwork for positive implementation of
the federal Every Student Succeeds Act in Ohio.
Scott DiMauro
Tim Myers is serving his second term as OEA Secretary-Treasurer. He has been a classroom teacher with the
Elida Local Schools, teaching Life, Earth and Computer Sciences since 1981. In 1980-81, he was a coach and
teacher at Columbus Grove High School.
Tim served on the OEA Board of Directors as a Northwest OEA representative for five years and as an NEA
Director for six years. He served on the OEA Program and Budget Committee for eight years, including one year
on the Personnel Committee and two years on Constitution and By-Laws. While on the NEA Board of Directors,
Tim served two terms on the NEA Program and Budget Committee.
Tim has a strong commitment to finding a fair and equitable solution to the pension crisis. He has represented
Ohio’s current and retired educators on the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio Board of Trustees since 2008.
He served as Board Chair from July 2010 until September 2011. He is currently Chair of the NEA’s Pension Trustees
Caucus.
Tim believes that OEA must step up its efforts to get local members involved in legislative issues for the improvement
of education. Senate Bill 5/Issue 2 has shown us that we can stop the anti-public education legislation that is flowing
into Ohio if we work together.
Tim Myers
Sheryl Mathis joined the OEA as Executive Director in December 2013.
Sheryl has more than 35 years of professional experience in education. Before coming to Ohio, she was the Executive
Director of the Arizona Education Association (AEA) where her leadership brought financial stability to an organization
coping with the challenge of membership losses caused by the elimination of payroll deduction. Under her tutelage,
AEA moved to a culture of organizing and she played an instrumental role in the creation of Arizona Wins, a progressive
coalition that quickly became a force in electoral politics.
A native of Texas, Sheryl began her career as a classroom teacher in the Putnam City School District in Oklahoma City, OK.
“I am proud to have been an educator,” Sheryl says. “It’s given me a valuable perspective on the best ways in which to serve
all members of the education association.”
Sheryl later served as the President of the Putnam City Association of Classroom Teachers, and as a UniServ Director
for the Colorado Education Association. From 1996 to 2007, Sheryl was the Associate Executive Director of the
Kansas Education Association.
