She has also led implementation of the 8-step process, an educational reform process. Finally, Mrs. Blair is serving as a mentor teacher to two first year math teachers and is also mentoring a student teacher."

Congratulations to February's STEM Educator of the Month, Mrs. Sandy Cowgill! Sandy was nominated by Muncie Central High School Principal, Tom Jarvis.

"I would like to nominate Mrs. Sandy Cowgill as Educator of the Month from Muncie Central. Mrs. Cowgill works countless hours outside the classroom helping others. She tutors students before and after school, and she helps coordinate all the data and lesson plans for our Algebra students that need remediation. She also coordinates our math honorary students, and these students tutor other students that may need help in algebra or any other math class offered at Muncie Central. Mrs. Cowgill is one of the most dedicated educators I have seen in my 27+ years in education. She is a ‘TEAM’ player in every sense of the way. Mrs. Cowgill is the standard everyone else should be measured against. Thanks for her consideration as Educator of the Month!" |
