DESCRIPTION
The Bakersfield Voice 1/23/11
Citation preview
t takes a village to raise a childaccording to the African proverb butI think it applies to teachers as well.In February I will receive the Califor-nia Association of Teachers of English
Award of Merit — and I certainly didn’tearn this honor on my own.
Years ago, Liberty High School’s JoanSwenson encouraged me, shared herbooks, and coached me through the Cali-fornia Single Subject Assessment — nodoubt the most difficult test I’ve ever tak-en!
North High’s English Department ChairJune Pixton Gaede taught me how toeffectively teach English after her retire-ment. I still hear myself saying things she
taught me.Rosedale Middle
School’s Becky Milleracted as my masterteacher and taughtme to focus, embracethe craft of teachingwriting, and showedme how important itis to love our students.
Panama-BuenaVista Union SchoolDistrict’s DianeBergstrom showed me
such generosity! I thank her mentallywhen I use time-tested material devel-oped by her which makes me a better
teacher more than 10 years later!Warren Junior High’s Helen Venosdel
kept me focusing on the positive as mymentor during my first — very difficult —year, while Marily Anton kept me laugh-ing, assuring I wouldn’t drown in mytears! (So many teachers bail out beforetheir fifth year.)
Actis JH professional Brenda Hallumcame to Warren and treated me like anequal even though I had nothing on thisamazing teacher! She made me feel like aprofessional — asking my opinion, what Ihad in mind for the future, and sharinganything and all with me.
Thompson Junior High’s Jonathon Walland Stonecreek’s Nick Preston taught me
to embrace data and glean all I could outof it to better support our students.
Colleagues like Amy Luther, Lana Mar-tin, Denise Morris, and Jennifer Bezdek,epitomize teamwork.
When it comes to principals, WayneWinter, George Thornburgh, and GerrieKincaid were so supportive, positive, anddownright fun!
Darryl Johnson, my current principal,has taught me to look at the big picture ineducation starting most days with philo-sophical bantering, anecdotes, and a weebit of counseling provided by each of us!
The students? They’ve taught me themost, by far! I could go on for days aboutall the lessons they’ve provided. The most
important: keep loving them while enthu-siastically teaching the California ContentStandards!
Finally, I just don’t know what I’d dowithout the daily support of educator KimGraham, my friend, sounding board, andlaughing buddy.
Yes, it takes a village to raise a child, andso many professional, masterful, gener-ous, and kind people to “raise” a teacher.
Peggy Dewane-Pope teachesEnglish/language arts at Stonecreek JuniorHigh School in the Panama-Buena VistaUnion School District. CATE’s Award ofMerit recognizes outstanding and merito-rious contributions by people teachingEnglish/language arts in California.
