The Office of Clinical Experiences and the Department of 教学 and 学习 have partnered to create a Clinical 教师 of the Year award to recognize the excellent work of the teachers in schools mentoring and coaching Old Dominion University teacher candidates. 具体地说, this award recognizes teachers in grades P-12 who worked with an Old Dominion University teacher candidate during a student teaching experience in the past academic year. University supervisors who supervise student teachers, Old Dominion University faculty members, and the student teachers themselves were asked to nominate clinical faculty during the fall and spring semesters.
2022-2023 Award Winners
每年, the Office of Clinical Experiences at Old Dominion University solicits nominations for Clinical 教师 Members of the Year. The winners are selected by a placement specialist in the Office of Clinical Experiences, Ms. Brenda Houck, and the co-chairs of the School-University Partnership Committee: Ms. Jennessa Libby-Reynolds Dr. Kristie Gutierrez, and Dr. Jori贝克. We are pleased to announce the awardee for the 2022-2023 school year!
