(KAIR)--A long-time business teacher at Leavenworth High School has been named the 2025 Kansas Teacher of the Year.

According to a release, Elizabeth Anstine was awarded Saturday, during a special ceremony held in Wichita, earning the honor from a field of eight finalists.

Throughout the coming year, Anstine and the finalists will work and travel as a team to advocate for Kansas education and the teaching profession. Anstine, of Overland Park, has been teaching business marketing, entrepreneurship, and finance courses at Leavenworth High School for the past 12 year.

Stacey Cole, associate principal at Leavenworth High, in the release, credits Anstine for dramatically transforming the school- business and marketing program and for developing a partnership with high-incidence students who work closely with general education students.

Anstine calls one of the fundamental aspects of her teaching philosophy the “practice of deliberate reflection,” explaining in the release that she dedicates time to carefully assess her teaching methods and classroom practices, evaluating what is effective and where adjustments are needed to enhance the overall learning experience for her students.
