59 Area Teachers Receive Teaching Awards From Warner School
Fifty-nine educators who teach in area schools have received Awards for Excellence in Secondary School Teaching from the Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development at the University of Rochester. Leonard Simon, who is chairman, president and CEO of Rochester Community Savings Bank, was the speaker at the March 10 ceremony, attended by some 140 teachers and administrators. Rochester Community Savings Bank also sponsored the event.
To be considered for an award, a teacher must demonstrate a thorough knowledge and enthusiasm for his or her subject, give well-organized and imaginative lessons, offer clear and interesting explanations of important concepts, establish control of the classroom, and offer an atmosphere conducive to learning. He or she must also display a sense of humor, respect students, understand their problems, and be engaged with student extracurricular activities.
