 January
9, 2007 - Jennifer
Dawson, social studies teacher at Lost Mountain Middle School
and the 2006-07 Cobb County School District Teacher of the Year,
was named one of 10 finalists for the 2008 Georgia Teacher of
the Year by State Superintendent of Schools Kathy Cox.
Ms. Dawson was selected from among 147 district winners
throughout Georgia that applied for the statewide honor. Her
application was reviewed and chosen by an eight-member panel of
educators, business leaders and staff members from the
Department of Education. The Department of Education’s panel of
judges will visit Lost Mountain in the coming weeks to conduct
an interview with Ms. Dawson and observe her classroom.
The winner of the Georgia Teacher of the Year honor takes a
one-year sabbatical from the classroom, in which he or she acts
as a spokesperson for the state and conducts staff development
activities for fellow educators. More information about the
Georgia Teacher of the Year program is available at
www.doe.k12.ga.us. More
