Elba Central School teachers Jeremy Rath and Tammy Plucknette were recognized today in a faculty meeting in the school's cafeteria for their recent accomplishments.
Rath (right in the top photo) has been named an Outstanding Music Teacher by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.
Plucknette (second photo) was selected from among 3,000 applicants to be among 200 teachers on the Learnzillion Dream Team.
Learnzillion is developing curricula and material to help teachers implement common core lesson plans as part of new federal guidelines.
She just returned from a four-day trip to San Francisco to learn how to make videos for Learnzillion's Web site.
Rath was selected from among music teachers in nine Western New York counties and will be honored at RPO's concern May 9.
"This means great things for Elba," said Stephanie Rudman (with Rath, top photo), who helped organize the recognition reception. "We're a little school in Genesee County and we have two awesome teachers. It's a small reflection of all the teachers we have in Elba. It's a great school."
