WATCH: Deal releases “High Expectations”

August 29, 2017

Gov. Nathan Deal, in conjunction with the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement, today released “High Expectations,” the 19th installment of the “Real Teachers Real Voices” campaign. This initiative, which highlights exceptional educators around the state, stems from feedback provided by Deal’s Teacher Advisory Committee. “High Expectations” features Melissa Brown, an educator at Morgan County Middle School.

“In my 20 years of teaching, the most rewarding thing I get to do each year is bond and develop relationships with my students,” said Brown. “That bond, coupled with engaging classroom differentiation and encouragement helps foster success. I set high expectations for my students, and I hold them accountable for reaching those expectations, all while providing individual support along the way.”
