FWISD Teaching Chair Honorees Say a Lot in a Little Time in Voices of Excellence Video Series
Each weekday leading up to winter break, Fort Worth ISD is sharing Voices of Excellence. These are brief words of wisdom and inspiration from the Fort Worth ISD 2021-2022 Academic Chairs for Teaching Excellence.
First up: Janet Allen, Young Men’s Leadership Academy
Janet Allen is the Chase Chair for Teaching Excellence in Secondary English. She strives to prepare her students to become active members of society. “I want them to know that while they’re in my class for the year, they must also live and function productively in the world.”
She also creates an environment of care and respect. “When young men feel valued, heard, and loved, growth naturally follows.”
Ms. Allen shares a story about a very special student in her remarks from the Academic Chairs for Teaching Excellence Awards Luncheon.
