August 20, 2012


Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement in last year’s State Teacher of the Year competition!  It was truly the most challenging, yet rewarding experience of my career!  I am truly honored to represent Wilson and the surrounding counties, its teachers, students, and parents, as a voice at the state level for the next 2 years.

Many times over the last year, people have asked me, why do you teach in Wilson?  The answer is easy, community!  Wilson is not an impersonal institution but a caring system where people know and help each other.  I have also been impressed by the amazing talented teachers that I have met tucked away in different schools.  People whose creativity and knowledge are humbling.  The problem is that their lights are hiding within single classrooms or schools. We need to let our lights shine and share our creativity with collaboration around the district and region. 

I want to use this blog to keep you updated with events at the state level and give you a forum to post comments, concerns, and creative ideas to share.
 
Let Wilson shine for the whole state to see!
