Five of the 38 educators selected for the upcoming class of the Tennessee Educator Fellowship are from the Chattanooga region, the State Collaborative on Reforming Education announced Thursday.
Four educators are from Hamilton County: Ranita Glenn, of Hardy Elementary School; Aleisha McCallie, of East Brainerd Elementary School; Jen Semanco, of Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy; and David Sneed, of Soddy-Daisy High School.
A fifth is from Marion County: Lynn Cooper, of South Pittsburg High School.
The fellowship is a year-long program that helps teachers, counselors and librarians learn about education policy and equips them to advocate for their students and their profession.
“The fellows’ diverse perspectives and experiences are invaluable as they work both inside and outside the classroom and participate in state conversations on preparing all students for postsecondary and workforce success,” SCORE Executive Chairman and CEO Jamie Woodson said in a statement.
