Congratulations to Ms. Mary Myron, recipient of 2009 Classroom Teacher Excellence Award!!

TACEI 2009 Classroom Teacher Excellence Award winners announced

JOHNSON CITY—In conjunction with the Week of the Classroom Teacher, the Tennessee Association for Childhood Education International annually recognizes excellence in teaching and rewards Tennessee classroom teachers for their work and dedication to the education of children from birth through early adolescence.

Nominations from across the state were received for teachers who have demonstrated excellence in the classroom. A committee from each region of Tennessee made the final selection of one teacher from each of the four age divisions: Infancy/Toddler, Pre-Kindergarten/Kindergarten, Elementary and Middle School.

Mary Myron, a kindergarten teacher at University School on the campus of East Tennessee State University, was given the award for Pre-Kindergarten/Kindergarten. Malinda Williams of the Early Childhood Learning Center at Kingsport’s Washington Elementary School was the winner in the Infancy/Toddler category.

Recipients are presented certificates and one-year memberships in ACET. They also have an opportunity to participate at the TACEI 2009 fall conference “Hall of Excellence” and to share their success stories with others across Tennessee.

Thanks, Ms. Mary for being our Teacher of Excellence!!!!
