Teacher Excellence
Chris Gieringer, Matt Dearmon named RRISD Teachers of the Year
Chris Gieringer of Old Town Elementary and Matt Dearmon of the Stony Point 9th Grade Center were surprised with the announcement that they were selected as Round Rock ISD’s Elementary and Secondary Teachers of the Year Tuesday evening, May 5, at the annual Teacher Excellence Awards reception. Both RRISD Teachers of the Year will continue their own learning by teaching workshops and sharing their experience with new teachers.
This year’s Teacher Excellence Awards reception honoring educators and acknowledging their contributions was held on National Teacher Appreciation Day during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8). The RRISD Education Foundation and State Farm Insurance Companies sponsored the reception. The Foundation provides cash prizes of $150 for each campus Teacher of the Year, and $500 for each of the district’s Teachers of the Year.
All schools in Round Rock ISD selected a Teacher of the Year. From those nominees, the Elementary Teacher of the Year and Secondary Teacher of the Year who will represent RRISD in 2010 were selected. Round Rock ISD’s Teacher of the Year program is affiliated with the state and national Teacher of the Year programs. The goal is to select outstanding classroom teachers who also are able to speak for, motivate, and exemplify the contributions of all teachers..
