Lindsey Elementary School first grade Teacher Joelle Ehrbar has been selected as the winner of the 2009-2010 WEDGE Award, given to the member of the West Geauga School District community who exemplifies a commitment to innovative and creative approaches to learning.
Presented by WEDGE, the West Geauga Educational Foundation, the WEDGE Award includes a certificate of recognition and a $500 grant for Mrs. Ehrbar’s classroom the next school year. The certificate was presented at the roast for departing Superintendent Dr. Anthony Podojil on Sunday, May 2.
It is the first year for the annual award.
WEDGE recognized Mrs. Ehrbar for her creation of a comprehensive literacy binder to supplement the 1st grade curriculum based upon a district-wide professional development protocol called A~3-Align, Assess, Achieve, part of the district’s State Professional Development Grant initiative. The binder is being used in all three 1st grade classrooms at Lindsey.
