Congratulations to Richmond Teacher of the Year, Michaé N. Jamison, from Thomas Jefferson High School. Michae’ is a classmate of of my husbands in the Phd. program in educational leadership at VCU. She is young, bright has a great sense of humor and is exactly what our children need. She received $1,000 and will now compete for the state title.
Also, notable is that another great teacher (and friend of mine) Annie Campbell, from Fox, was the 1st runner up and received $750. (A position my husband was in last year). Annie is an amazing teacher and an even more amazing person. She is so positive and has found ways to make teaching the SOL content, which can sometimes be drudgery, to the kids so they actually enjoy it. She knows how to help the kids LOVE learning.
Richmond City Schools have tons of teachers like these. Amazing, passionate and inspiring people. Now all we have to do is let the word out.
