The NCCAT Beginning Teacher of the Year process was developed to honor beginning teachers and to retain teachers who show promise as excellent teachers and education leaders in North Carolina public schools and public charter schools.
As we all know, challenges abound for any educator at the onset of their teaching career, said Jan King, the Henderson County school system s assistant superintendent for instructional services. Navigating the routine challenges of a first year teacher in the midst of a global pandemic makes Shanice Hill s recognition even more impressive and meaningful. We are so proud and grateful that Ms. Hill chose the education profession, and returned home to teach in the very district where she was once a student.
Shanice Hill, a sixth-grade math teacher at Apple Valley Middle, is one of 27 finalists in the state for the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching 2020 Prudential NC Beginning Teacher of the Year Award.
