The Rapides Parish School Board honored their Highly Effective VAM teachers at the Excellence in Teaching Luncheon at the Hotel Bentley on Monday, Feb. 18.
Louisiana’s Value-Added Model (VAM) is used as a part of the teacher evaluation system to measure a teacher’s impact on student learning. A Highly Effective teacher is one whose students show exceptional academic growth beyond expected progress. It’s evident that the honorees for this luncheon not only shape their students’ futures but also strengthen the entire community.
The RPSB shared a huge “thank you” to their generous sponsors: Glenda Stock Smith, Dr. Paul Coreil, Thomas David of Pan American Engineers, and Camile Robison of CREST Industries, stating that “Your support makes moments like this possible!”
The RPSB added: “To all of our teachers—your impact reaches far beyond the walls of your classroom. We are grateful for your dedication and the positive change you bring every day! Congratulations to all of you!”
