Engaging Teacher Series

*EDITOR’S NOTE: THIS SERIES COULD HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE. SIGH.

This series is presented in three parts and highlights the work of school teachers in the Adirondack region.  

The formula:

Part 1 - Meet the teacher; learn about their background and their own educational pursuits.

Part 2 - Learn how the teacher engages his/her students in special and/or unique ways.

Part 3 - See the students in action as they put their teacher's efforts to use (performances, projects, special events, community involvement, etc.)
