Educators recently were honored at Celebrating Education during the university’s Celebrate Carroll event. Celebrating Education highlights individuals in the education department as well as professionals in the field who create and lead outstanding learning experiences for students.
“The word that is truly highlighted with this year’s event is ‘impact.’ Collectively, these educators work across 19 schools in 12 school districts and organizations. We have teachers and leaders with us tonight who are working in Waukesha, Milwaukee, Green, Racine, Portage and Rock counties,” said Kimberly White, chair of the Education Department.
“The work we do together at Carroll University is making an impact across the region. We recognize the contributions of these individuals and celebrate the promise of what is to come because of the teachers and leaders who move education forward,” she said.
Carroll education faculty asked education partners across the region to nominate teachers and leaders who are making a positive impact in their organizations.
