Teacher of the Month

Study after study shows the single most important factor determining the quality of the education a child receives is the quality of his teacher.

What makes a great teacher? Teaching is one of the most complicated jobs today. It demands broad knowledge of subject matter, curriculum and standards; enthusiasm, a caring attitude and a love of learning; knowledge of discipline and classroom management techniques; and a desire to make a difference in the lives of young people. With all these qualities required, it’s no wonder that it’s hard to find great teachers.

Each month at the Chamber luncheon we honor an outstanding Teacher chosen by the school district staff and present them with an award.
