CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WWBT) - Chesterfield County Public Schools has named its 2022 Teacher of the Year.
Clover Hill Elementary School’s Instructional Designer Raegen Dinelli received the award in a year where instructional technology has been essential to students.
Dinelli, a former fifth-grade teacher, has been at Clover Hill since 2006. She was also the school division’s 2022 Elementary School Teacher of the Year.
“All summer, I worked to create documents, start-ups, and how-to guides and videos for staff and also for students and their families,” the first-year instructional designer said. “I collaborated with my administration and other colleagues to come up with ways to make technology less intimidating (and dare I say, fun?) for all stakeholders. I was on a mission to make teachers love Canvas [the school division’s learning management system], so that they could pack a powerful punch with their lessons and keep their students engaged and invested in their education.”
