Therese Calvano & Jeanne Lively
 Our latest Good Apple award has been given to the “dynamic duo” of Therese Calvano and Jeanne Lively.
Therese Calvano, elementary teacher at Margetts School, has been an active member of the East Ramapo Teachers’ Center Policy Board since 2007, and is a trained mentor for the New Teacher Mentor Program.
Jeanne Lively is an elementary teacher at Hempstead School, and a Teachers’ Center enthusiast.
Therese and Jeanne are both National Board Certified Teachers who were among the first to be certified in East Ramapo. They have served the Teachers’ Center well as our National Board Certification “Candidate Support Providers”.
For two years, Therese and Jeanne attended a week-long summer Candidate Support Provider training in Rensselaer through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards’ and the Greater Capital Region Teacher Center.
In their role of “candidate support providers”, Therese and Jeanne establish candidate support groups and help guide candidates through the process. Using their facilitation skills, they provide constructive feedback to candidates.
As “candidate support providers”, Therese and Jeanne go above and beyond their role and spend many additional hours of their own supporting NB Candidates who are enrolled in their program at the Teaches’ Center.
For epitomizing the philosophy of Teacher Centers, teachers teaching teachers, it is easy to see why Therese and Jeanne have been awarded the Center’s Good Apple Award.
Congratulations, to our National Board teachers, Therese and Jeanne! . . . and thanks for all you do!
