Like a trail guide, an excellent language teacher works with students before, during, and after each venture to ensure their success. An excellent language teacher often has a craftsman’s sensibility and vitality to create thought-provoking products— in this case, rigorous, differentiated unit/lesson plans that ask students to extend their learning. And, most importantly, being an excellent ELL Teacher requires inexhaustible kindness. Johanna Chausow is one such person. Her commitment to her students, passion for teaching, and her compassion for others earned her the prestigious Provo Way and Evening of Excellence Award. Read the full story on provo.edu website.
