Jen Etter Recognized by the Department of Education



Jen Etter Recognized by the Department of Education



Congratulations to Music Teacher, Jen Etter for the recognition she has received from the Department of Education for the work she has done with the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative.  Last spring, Jen's classroom was highlighted in a video recognizing the exemplary work she is doing with standards-based education.  

Jen has been an integral part of the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative (MAAI) http://maineartsassessment.pbworks.com since it's inception.  Established in 2011 by the Maine Department of Education, the MAAI has provided professional development opportunities in standards-based student-centered education. Jen is one of 52 arts educators who have participated in summer institutes focusing on assessment, leadership, technology and creativity.

This fall Jen will be sharing her expertise with fellow educators as a presenter at the annual Maine Association of Middle Level Educators (MAMLE) conference.  

The impact of Jen's work at York Middle School extends far beyond the music classroom.  She is a teacher-leader and a champion of the proficiency-based learning model.  A consummate professional, Jen leads by example and always puts the needs of her students first.  York Middle School is fortunate to have Jen as part of our staff!
