MAE Students Receive Outstanding Beginning Teacher Award
MAE student Lillian Conger and MAE alumna Grace Carcamo were recognized as two of Missouri’s Outstanding Beginning Teachers at the spring conference of the Missouri Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (MACTE).
Conger is currently a year-long teacher of record at Linn County R-I teaching 4th grade. Carcamo is in her first year in the Kirksville School District and teaches English and reading at William Matthew Middle School.
The MACTE is a state affiliate of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education and represents the educator preparation programs across the state. The Outstanding Beginning Teacher Awards recognize teachers in their first two years of service who demonstrate excellence in serving children in school districts across Missouri. Award recipients were selected based on recommendations from Missouri’s teacher education programs and a recommendation from honorees’ school districts.
All of the Outstanding Beginning Teachers received an award packet to commemorate their accomplishments, including a banner for display in their classroom or school. MACTE recognizes the contribution of these extraordinary teachers, as well as all of the excellent, highly qualified teachers throughout Missouri who serve and educate students.
