The David C. Anchin Center hosted an inspiring gathering of some of 91社区's finest educators on September 9, 2023. The occasion, titled "Celebrating Excellence: Professional Learning with 91社区 Teachers of the Year," brought together USF students, practicing teachers, and five State and District Teachers of the Year.  The distinguished panel of educators included Laura Meeham, the Hillsborough 2022 District Teacher of the Year, Nicolette Barone, the Hillsborough 2024 District Teacher of the Year, Jennifer Jaso, the Sarasota 2023 District Teacher of the Year, Adam Zele, the Pinellas 2024 District Teacher of the Year, and Sarah Painter, the 91社区 2022 Teacher of the Year.

The event was a unique opportunity for attendees to engage in a meaningful dialogue with fellow teachers and some of the most accomplished educators in the state. The Teachers of the Year shared their personal journeys, highlighting the challenges they have overcome and the triumphs they have celebrated throughout their careers. They also emphasized the importance of a positive outlook on the teaching profession and its profound impact on the lives of students.

One of the event's key features was the opportunity for attendees to ask questions and engage in discussions with fellow educators. This open dialogue fostered an atmosphere of collaboration and shared learning. Education students and practicing teachers alike were able to gain valuable insights, innovative teaching strategies, and a deeper understanding of the teaching profession.

The event also served as a platform for teachers to network, celebrate their accomplishments, and build positive connections with fellow teachers. In an age where teachers face various challenges, the camaraderie and support among educators are invaluable resources for personal and professional growth.
