Bethany Education Department is pleased to announce the selection of this year’s two outstanding teacher education students identified as “Teachers of Promise.”
Marcelle Manatrey (Elementary Education K-6, ELL, Special Education) and Abigail Rishel-Barnett (Vocal Music Education, PreK-12) will have the opportunity to participate in a professional workshop conducted by the 2020 Kansas Teacher of the Year team of eight exemplary teachers. In addition, Miss Manatrey and Miss Rishel-Barnett will receive a special certificate of recognition at the State Awards Banquet on September 25.
The Teachers of Promise candidates show a dedication and enthusiasm for teaching, an ability to teach and motivate others, and have consistently demonstrated integrity, responsibility, and professionalism in their behaviors, work, and communications.
Pictured are the Teachers of Promise candidates accompanied by their cooperating teacher and college supervisor as they were surprised with the announcement this week at one of their student teaching placements, Schilling Elementary School in Salina, Kansas.
