Congratulations to Nerissa Armstrong who receives a $500 NWPE Scholarship to attend the 2017 National Council for the Social Studies Conference in San Francisco next fall. Ms. Armstrong is a Meridian Middle School teacher of World Civilizations in the West Ada School District in Meridian, Idaho.
A committed professional, Ms. Armstrong, notes that community outreach is critical to gaining respect for educators. “We have to reach out to the public, to parents, to our administrators. Not just when we have a problem that needs fixed, but when we have one of the many victories that come in our school days. Yes, teachers are often overlooked. Yes, we deserve more resources and better pay. But we are also so lucky to be in a job that allows us to mold futures, to build better citizens, to make connections that can improve someone’s life. We may be an underestimated profession, but we are also an incredibly lucky one.” We wish Ms. Armstrong a fruitful experience at the conference and look forward to her advancing the learning of students and staff alike when she returns from San Francisco!
