Chapter Service Project: Supporting Early Career Educators Congratulations to Lee Ann Dodge! The New Teacher Committee under the leadership of Ann Marie Towne has chosen the first recipient of the New Teacher award, Lee Ann Dodge. Early career educators can apply to have a pet project funded by Alpha Chapter. Alpha Chapter members are available to support early career educators in successfully planning and completing the project. Lee Ann is a third year teacher at the Daniel B. Brunton Elementary School in Springfield, Massachusetts. She will use the award to integrate science, math and English language arts standards into a unit on the solar system. Promoting Educational Excellence is a cornerstone of Delta Kappa Gamma. Support for Early Career Educators is a key project for Alpha Chapter. Beth Danforth chaired this project in 2015. For the past 3 years Alpha Chapter has created bags of teacher supplies for new teachers in March. Members hand deliver the bags to the new teachers with a smile and words of encouragement as supplies run low and testing demands run high! |
