School Resource Officer
R. Pete Woodard Jr. High School
Our faculty of the month recognition goes to Officer Cale Thompson for his talent and hard work as LRE Academy faculty. He made his faculty debut in September 2023 by co-developing and co-facilitating the Respect for Authority Advanced LRE Academy. Officer Thompson was very flexible to meet for planning and shared his insight as well as expertise on the laws incorporated in the lessons. His experience and knowledge were valuable in the development of the lesson cohort that met LRE’s best practices. The lessons were brought to life with the creation of interactive activities including scenarios developed by Officer Thompson, making the lessons relevant to students' lives. During the academy, he made sure the audience felt comfortable by validating everyone’s ideas and encouraging the sharing of thoughts and experiences. Officer Thompson’s accomplishments, knowledge, and positive attitude make him a wonderful co-facilitator for our academies. We look forward to many more academies together.
