2010-11 Teacher of the Year Chosen

This year’s Centennial Teacher of the Year, Dr. Diane Joseph, experiments with technology by seeking out and trying new devices to meet the needs of students who are deaf/hard of hearing (HH). As the district-wide coordinator for all students (birth through transition years) who are deaf/HH, she advises, consults, advocates for, and provides what is needed regarding deaf/ HH services. Diane says “students get to know me pretty well by the time they go through the district, as I follow them all the way through.”
