Art and Technology Educator, Sarah Sutter
Last June Sarah left her classroom in Wiscasset for an adventure. She spent some of last summer in China being recognized for her teaching accomplishments by the National Education Association. She put together a YouTube on her trip to Shanghai. In August she headed to Japan where she is spending three years teaching art in a high school. We look forward to hearing from Sarah with an update of her adventures in Japan!
Gosh, I wonder what her book will be called?
In May art teacher Sarah Sutter was honored by MEA receiving the 2010 Maine Education Association award for Teaching Excellence. She traveled to China recently with the other state winners.
There were 42 of us on the trip, including a couple of NEA Foundation staff, including Harriet Sanford (President/CEO), Betty Paugh-Ortiz (Senior VP of Innovation), and Susan Burke (Special Projects Director), staff from EF, and from the Pearson Foundation. The group tour was for 10 days, starting June 22, and included Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Sarah Sutter and Sarah Johnston from NM, extended their trip and spent another 8 days in Guilin and Yangshua, flying out of Shanghai on July 8th.
Sarah resigned from her teaching job at Wiscasset High School this Spring and she leaves for Japan in a week to teach for three years. She has trip pictures from China posted that you can take a look at and a link to where her Japan photos will be posted as well.
