Denise Henggeler Named Regional Teacher of the Year

Northwest Regional Professional Development Center is pleased to announce the three Northwest Missouri Regional Teachers of the Year:

Denise Henggeler, Fourth Grade, Northeast Nodaway School District
Mark Korell, Eighth Grade Social Studies, St.Joseph School District 
Sandra Wood, 7-12 Spanish, Maryville R-II School District

The Northwest Regional Teacher of the Year award is part of the Missouri Teacher of the Year program, sponsored by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). This program recognizes the efforts of effective teachers in providing a quality education to their students. Preparing, developing and supporting effective educators is one of DESE’s primary goals.  These educators as well as others nominated for Northwest Regional Teacher of the Year will be honored at a Regional banquet in early September.

These three Regional Teacher of the Year recipients are now eligible to compete for the 2019-2020 Missouri Teacher of the Year. The selection committee, comprised of teachers, business leaders and education organization leaders, will choose the Missouri Teacher of the Year following interviews with each finalist this fall. The winner and the finalists will be honored at a banquet October 21st, 2019 in Jefferson City. The new Missouri Teacher of the Year will serve as the state’s nominee for the National Teacher of the Year competition.

The Missouri Teacher of the Year program is conducted with financial support by the Boeing Company and the Monsanto Fund.
