Dr. Amity Hardegree was named the 2021 Georgia Science Administrator of the year by the Georgia Science Teachers Association (GSTA) for her work in supporting excellent science teaching at West Jackson Elementary School and in leading the school toward state STEAM certification. Dr. Hardegree has worked tirelessly to ensure that West Jackson teachers have the support, professional learning, materials, and time needed to meaningfully integrate science with other subjects so that students will be well-rounded critical thinkers and problem solvers.
Ms. Carla Mitchell, West Jackson Elementary School’s art teacher, also received a $750 mini-grant from GSTA to support her “Creativity Garden” project. The garden will help WJES teachers integrate science and arts learning as part of the school’s STEAM program.
Dr. Hardegree and Ms. Mitchell will be recognized tomorrow, February 5 at 6:30 PM during the virtual Georgia Science Teachers Association awards banquet. Congratulations, Dr. Hardegree & Ms. Mitchell!
