The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) recognized outstanding teachers this week, including Deborah Sudbeck, a Longmont resident and elementary teacher at Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA), a statewide online public school serving students in grades K through 12.
Each year, the CDE recognizes teachers and counselors who demonstrate excellence in teaching and commitment to 21st century learning. This year, Sudbeck is one of the four teachers to receive the 2012 Online Teacher of the Year in the elementary school category.
“It’s an honor to be chosen out of the many wonderful teachers at COVA and the larger online school community in Colorado. I’m grateful for the personal recognition and pleased for the awareness this brings to COVA and online education,” said Sudbeck. “Education is not one-size-fits all, and I’ve seen how a more custom approach delivered through COVA’s online model and curriculum guided by highly qualified, licensed teachers can help students achieve success.”
