Florida Department of Education recognizes high-impact teachers

The Florida Department of Education recognized 4 Franklin County School District teachers and 6 Gulf County School District teachers for their “high-impact” in the classroom.

Franklin county teachers that were recognized include Lindsey Bockelman, Audrey Gay, Karen Ward and Tara Ward.

In Gulf County they are Janice Ann Adkison, Anita Askew, Jeannie Ford, Kristal Smallwood, Brenda Wood and Misty wood.

Each teacher received a congratulatory letter this week telling them that their efforts provide inspiration and opportunities to young people that may have been otherwise inaccessible.

The state determined the high-impact teachers based on how their students performed on statewide exams over a 3-year period and the growth of the students from one year to the next.

The state limited high-impact distinction to those who taught courses measured with the Value Added Model which includes reading for grades four through 10, mathematics forgrades four through eight and Algebra 1 for grades eight and nine.
