Cleveland Metropolitan School District

Today I am pleased to announce an impressive round of H.E.A.R.T. Champions for the third quarter. The caliber of nominations was outstanding and the task of identifying our Champions is never an easy one. This was especially true yet again for this current selection cycle. The HEART committee shared that this round of difficult selections was among 51 high quality nominations. They all bring their very own unique contributions and impact, be it from colleague-to-colleague or with our scholars and their families. The Communicate with H.E.A.R.T. model stresses that the "role of the Educator, is greater than the tasks associated with his/her job."  In evaluating the submissions, it is notable that the S.T.A.R.T. and H.E.A.R.T. behaviors observed were specifically spelled out in the nominations. We again, broke the record set from last quarter, and our current winners now make up the largest class of Champions awarded to date.
