LINCOLN COUNTY, N.C. — A Lincoln County teacher has been selected as a state finalist for the 2023 Teacher of the Year Awards.
Nine teachers were chosen from states that participate in Teachers of Tomorrow, a program working to address the nationwide teacher shortage and certify people faster. Misty Foster, a fourth-grade math and science teacher from Vale, N.C., was one of those chosen.
“We worked throughout the year to build confidence and classroom relationships so that the class knew we were a team,” Foster said, “As a teacher, I was so proud of my students. I was proud they were engaged, proud they felt confident, proud they worked out their problems, and most importantly, proud that they checked their work.”
The community picks the winner and voting will be held through Sept. 1st.
