CTAE Announces Its Teachers of the Year
2013 CTAE Performance Recognition
The 2013 Career, Technical and Agricultural Education “High School Teacher of the Year” distinction was recently awarded to Linda Hassan-Randle of Crim Open Campus. The Middle School Teacher of the Year honors went to Kameelah Chase of Sutton Middle School. Ms. Chase was also the APS district Middle School Teacher of the year. Finalist honors went to Lorraine Bowen of North Atlanta High School and Alisha Foots of B.E.S.T Academy. The awards were announced at the 5th Annual CTAE End-of-Year Performance Recognition Event honoring outstanding CTAE teachers and local business partners. Additional awards were given to teachers who worked to prepare students for state and national competitive events, who excelled in placing students in work-based learning opportunities, and those who helped to plan and implement CTAE professional development workshops. Schools also nominated business partners for special awards in recognition of their outstanding service to the students of APS. CTAE Advisory Board members were recognized for their service during the 2013 school year. CTAE Advisory Board members were instrumental in recruiting hundreds of guest speakers for this year’s College and Career Motivation Week.
