February 2023
The Teacher Tour, presented by the 2021 Teacher of the Year finalists, known as 5xStronger, recognizes and celebrates some of the fantastic and extraordinary teachers in our schools. Each month, nominations are accepted for teachers who are doing an outstanding job in a specific area or level. One winning teacher will be selected each month, but every nominee will be recognized in the HCPS 411 Update. The winning teacher will receive a surprise visit from the 5xStronger team and a special gift from one of our community partners.
This month, 5xStronger recognized the amazing educators in HCPS middle schools! Our middle school teachers build relationships with their students during a key time in their lives, preparing and inspiring them to succeed both in and out of the classroom. These educators promote enriching learning through innovative practices, celebrating achievements, and boosting positive behavior.
For the second stop of the year, 5xStronger recognized Tina Joy Mackey, of Edgewood Middle School!
For their third stop, 5xStronger is looking to highlight and recognize one high school teacher. Do you know a high school educator who is exceptional in professional growth, classroom management, technology, positive relationships, and/or student engagement? We would love to hear about them and share some of the wonderful things they are doing in their classrooms to promote student learning at the high school level!
Please use this link to nominate a high school teacher on or before March 15, 2023. They may be the next stop on our teacher tour!
