Claudia R. Castenir

Teacher of the Year Southeast District 2002

Presently, Claudia Castenir is in training as a Reading Recovery teacher leader for the Fort Knox Community Schools. She has served as a Reading Recovery teacher and a teacher of primary students with emotional and behavioral disorders during her 21-year teaching career. Claudia feels that a sign of a good teacher is a continual evolving philosophy of education. She states, "We cannot afford, if our goal is to provide the best education possible for our students, to ignore current research and maintain a static philosophy of teaching about the way students learn."
