Tribute to Teachers
On November 20th, 2009 Carol Adamson successfully completed her National Board
Teacher Certification for Adolescence and Adult Science Education. The
National Board process is a three year endeavor which she has now completed
over the last two years.
National certification is the highest academic
level an accomplished teacher may obtain, exclusive of a Ph.D. One aspect of
the National boards is the constant two-way communication between
parents/community members and this instructor. So, please feel free to
develop an ongoing discourse about your child or student with Mrs. Adamson.
She has always had a working relationship with her student's families, but
after her two year long pursuit of becoming a National Board Certified Teacher
she has come to understand, in even more depth, the importance of maintaining
good teacher-parent communication. It is with parents input and support that
a true personalized educational plan for each student can grow and student
performance and success can truly be measured.
Since 1998, KVBC TV-3 has honored numerous outstanding Clark County School
District Teachers through the "Tribute To Teachers" campaign. Each month a
teacher is recognized in a :30 second television commercial which highlights
the teacher's achievements and/or contributions to the community. These
commercials can be seen each month in KVBC daytime and evening news
programming. Mrs. Adamson has been the recipient of this prestigious award.
Mrs. Adamson has recently received a Junior League grant (2009-2010) for
construction of a 3-bin composting unit to start a new "green" movement
between culinary and science at NWCTA!!
Mrs. Adamson is the Department Chair for science at the
Northwest Career and Technical Academy. She is the Problem Based Coordinator
for NWCTA and is recognized for her curriculum development. Mrs. Adamson is
published in the educational magazine National Science Teacher. She has been
teaching for 20 years and training other teachers, locally, statewide, and
nationally for over 17 years.
