Superintendent of Schools Dr. William S. McKersie has announced the selection of Greenwich High School Science, AVID and Innovation Lab teacher Dr. Sarah Goldin as the Greenwich Public Schools representative for the 2017 Connecticut Teacher of the Year program. Dr. Goldin will be recognized by the Board of Education at the June 14, 2016 meeting at New Lebanon School, 7:00 p.m.
Dr. McKersie said, “Dr. Sarah Goldin stands out among an especially talented class of ‘Distinguished Teachers.’ Each of the 2016 Distinguished Teachers demonstrate a keen understanding of personalized learning in their classrooms, engaging each student in challenging content. Dr. Goldin extends her rare blend of innovation and excellence beyond her classroom. Not only does she move through her own classroom with surgical precision, connecting with individual students and small groups to accelerate their learning, she is committed to scaling her impact to colleagues and their students. Her uncommon enthusiasm, knowledge and skill are infectious and she seeks every opportunity to share her ideas and methods with other educators. Dr. Goldin will be a brilliant ambassador for Greenwich in the State program.”
Dr. Goldin will also be honored by the Distinguished Teachers Awards Committee and by the Greenwich Kiwanis Club at the June 14Board of Education meeting. The Kiwanis Club will present Dr. Goldin with the Joseph Mitchell Kaye Award. Mr. Kaye was a past President of the Greenwich Kiwanis Club, a Lieutenant Governor of the Kiwanis Club for the New England District, and served on the Greenwich Board of Education.
Dr. Goldin is one of the six teachers selected and honored by the Distinguished Teachers Awards Committee this year in April. The Superintendent of Schools is charged with selecting from among the six Distinguished Teachers annually, the one teacher that will represent Greenwich in the State’s program. Throughout the months of May and June, Dr. McKersie reviewed the nomination packets submitted for the Distinguished Teachers eligible for and participating in the District process for the State’s program; spent time in each of their classrooms; debriefed the observations with each teacher and with their principal; and reviewed essays submitted as part of the selection process.
