Pioneer Career & Technology Center is proud to announce the 2012-2013 Master Teachers:
• Eric Winbigler, Homeland Security & Terrorism Instructor
• Vickie Hunt, Career Pathways/HSTW Coordinator
• Kip Stevens, Welding Instructor
• Paul Brown, Collision Repair Instructor
In order to be eligible for the Master Teacher designation, educators must hold a valid professional license or certificate, have taught a minimum of seven years, and show evidence of each of the following criteria as described in the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession. Master Teachers will achieve exemplary scores in four of five areas on the scoring guide, including consistent leadership, focused collaboration, distinguished teaching – focus on students and environment, distinguished teaching – focus on content, instruction and assessment, and continued professional growth.
The Ohio Department of Education describes the Master Teacher program as, “a way to recognize and honor teachers who go above and beyond district expectations. It creates a resource of teacher leaders to advance the profession and encourages high quality teachers to remain in the classroom.” Master Teachers hold that distinction for five (5) years.
Superintendent, Glenna Cannon, and the entire Pioneer staff, are very proud of the instructors and congratulates them on this great accomplishment.
