Dr. Amanda Frasier Receives Presidential Grant-in-Aid
 
Dr. Amanda Frasier, University School instructor, was awarded a Presidential Grant-in-Aid. The financial resources made available through this grant will assist Dr. Frasier in completing a Maintenance of Certificate (MOC) program through the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards. Dr. Frasier is a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT) and through the MOC program she will retain this distinction for five more years. As part of this professional development, Dr. Frasier will use this experience to reflect on her discipline as a teacher at the University School and how she impacts the lives of her students. 

According to the Tennessee Department of Education’s website, “National Board Certified Teachers are highly accomplished educators who meet high and rigorous standards. Like board-certified doctors and accountants, teachers who achieve National Board Certification have met these rigorous standards through intensive study, expert evaluation, self-assessment, and peer review. ”

Congratulations, Dr. Frasier.
