Wendy Madere Wins Horizon Award
From CJOnline:
The first year of teaching is usually filled with excitement, anxiety, challenges and victories. And that is no exception for the four Shawnee County winners of the Kansas State Department of Education Horizon award that recognizes exemplary first-year teachers.
“It was such an honor to even be nominated by my district, so winning was a shock,” said Wendy Madere, a Washburn Rural High School graduate, second-grade teacher at Rossville Grade School and the first Horizon winner for Kaw Valley Unified School District 321, which includes portions of Shawnee and Pottawatomie counties. “I understand how many amazing first-year teachers there are in Kansas and to be recognized in this way is very humbling.”
Madere was one of 32 first-year teachers who were honored at the recent Kansas Exemplary Educators Network, or KEEN, education conference held in Topeka. The 2015 winners, nominated by their districts, were first-year elementary and secondary teachers during the 2013-14 school year and chosen from four regions.
