North Billerica, MA, January 25, 2021
Curriculum Associates has named Tracie M. Porter of Holden School in Holden to its 2021 class of Extraordinary Educators, an annual program that celebrates and connects exemplar teachers from around the country. Porter is among 44 teachers from 26 states and Washington, DC chosen for this honor that recognizes educators who exhibit best-in-class use of i-Ready and/or Ready, illustrate growth and achievement via formal assessments, demonstrate innovation and engagement practices for students, are evangelists for high standards and student achievement, and have been teaching for at least two years.
“It goes without saying that this has been an unprecedented school year that has challenged educators, students, and families alike,” said Rob Waldron, CEO of Curriculum Associates. “However, this group of Extraordinary Educators—like so many other educators across the country—has more than risen to the occasion. We are proud to recognize Tracie for her hard work, dedication, and innovative best practices that continue to positively impact the students she serves.”
This year’s Extraordinary Educators, who were chosen from among hundreds of nominations, will have access to a network of peers from around the country to collaborate, connect, and learn from throughout the year, as well as receive unique professional development opportunities from Curriculum Associates. They will also be invited to participate and present at the Extraordinary Educators Leadership Summit, as well as other professional learning events throughout the year.
“I am very honored to be named one of the 2021 Extraordinary Educator recipients by Curriculum Associates,” said Porter. “Being included in a group with such excellent educators is certainly an accomplishment. I believe that collaboration is important in education, and I am blessed to be given this opportunity to collaborate with the some of the best.”
Today, Curriculum Associates’ programs are used in the majority of the state’s school districts.
