| 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.”
