Regional Office of Education #11 Recognition of Excellence Award
Charleston, IL – The Regional Office of Education #11 is pleased to announce the 2020 Inaugural ROE #11 Recognition of Excellence Award Recipients.
The Regional Office of Education #11 requested nominations from each school district within the region seeking to highlight a pre-kindergarten through grade 12 educator who has modeled excellence in education. Nominees included exceptionally skillful and dedicated individuals who have the respect and admiration of students, parents, and co-workers. They also play active and useful roles within their communities as well as schools; often distinguishing themselves as leaders. Their most important quality is their superior ability to inspire a love of learning in students of all backgrounds and abilities.
Nominations were accepted through February 2020, reviewed by a committee, and one educator per school district was selected to receive the distinguished ROE#11 Recognition of Excellence Award.
Dr. Kyle Thompson, Regional Superintendent said, “We are privileged to have so many outstanding educators within our region, passionate about the profession, and dedicated to our students. It’s an honor to recognize and validate their meaningful efforts. Education is truly a work-of-heart and these educators work with relentless persistence, creativity, flexibility, and competence.
