Jan Patrick – Marion County Teacher of the Year
 
Marion County School District chose Jan Patrick, East Marion Elementary School Math Teacher, as their 2008-2009 "Teacher of the Year!"   She has been teaching children in Marion County for 29 years and continues to be an asset to the District.

 Jan quotes:  "I am honored to have been chosen the Marion County School District Teacher of the Year.

Teaching has always been in my heart, it is what I was meant to do.  Teaching is not an easy job, but it is very rewarding.  Challenging students to do their best is difficult, especially when they are discouraged or may not want to learn. My goal was always to make learning fun and relevant to every child, sometimes even making them learn when they didn’t realize they were learning.
 

Using the new technology available to me this year has made this task easier - My students would even ask to work more math problems - a first for me in my 29 years of teaching.  My students and I have worked very hard this year while still having a good time and learning quite a lot!   The bond that I get to develop with the children is very special.  I am privileged to be a part of their lives for a short time and I hope that I leave a mark on each child I teach."
