2022 District Award of Excellence for Educator Effectiveness: Ascension Public Schools, Louisiana
March 11, 2022
Ascension Public Schools in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, received the 2022 $50,000 NIET District Award of Excellence for Educator Effectiveness. Ascension Parish began its partnership with NIET in 2008 to implement the TAP System for Teacher and Student Advancement, a whole-school approach to improving teaching and providing opportunities for teachers to grow as leaders.
“Teachers want to come to Ascension Parish Schools because they believe they can grow as teachers,” said Alexander. “They know that they're going to be in a collaborative environment and that they're going to get the support they need. They're going to be challenged as teachers to continue to be innovative and continue to press for continuous improvement in their craft so that more and more children are able to benefit from what we do every day in classrooms.”
