CLEVELAND, Tenn. — The bucket of flour didn’t surprise Catherine Betts.
As a seventh-grade student in Jason Robinson’s science class, she knew never to try to predict her teacher’s lessons.
“He came in and said, ‘We’re going to do an experiment today.’ You never know what to expect,” she said, laughing.
That particular day’s class was spent learning how craters are created on the surface of the moon, Catherine said, but that was only one example of many.
Thanks to his passionate, exciting and unpredictable teaching, Dr. Robinson, named the top teacher in Bradley County, now has been nominated for the statewide Teacher of the Year award.
