2002-03 Warner School Award for Excellence in High School Teaching

The awards are given to student-centered teachers who use innovative teaching techniques and believe that all children can learn and do learn in unique ways. Recipients must demonstrate a thorough knowledge and enthusiasm for their subject, give well-organized and imaginative lessons, offer clear and interesting explanations of important concepts, and create a classroom atmosphere conducive to learning. In most cases, student groups at the schools are involved in the selection of the teacher.

The award celebration is made possible by a grant from Drs. Marion A. and Leonard S. Simon. Dr. Marion Simon graduated from the University of Rochester with a doctoral degree in education, has taught school at the secondary level, and held several professional positions in local institutions of higher education. Dr. Leonard Simon is the retired Vice Chairman of Charter One Financial, Inc., the holding company of Charter One Bank.

This 2003 award ceremony will be held at the Memorial Art Gallery, on Wednesday, May 14, 2003.
