ronald-mcdonald-houseA first grade teacher at J. Milton Jeffrey Elementary School, Denise Chabot was the recent recipient of the Ronald McDonald House Charities Local Hero Award. She was one of a group of teachers who received awards for her dedication the teaching and superb efforts in servicing schools in their communities. In addition, at the start of this most recent academic year, she received the Teacher of the Year Award from Superintendent of Schools Thomas Scarice.
Chabot is extremely dedicated to helping her students reach their potential. She has worked with colleagues and special education teachers to help each student reach greater goals in their education, welcomed parents into her classroom and established real learning interactions for all those involved. She has also helped develop open communication between the class and home by her website and newsletter that ensure parents are kept up-to-date with new lessons and discussion topics. Chabot has been a teacher for close to two-and-a-half decades.
Of course, teacher dedication is just one area that is essential when it comes down to giving students the best possible education. Schools need to have adequate resources, such as good furniture, comfortable school chairs, modern whiteboards and more. When these two elements are combined students have a greater chance of reaching their full potential.
