Middle School Welcomes Four New Teachers
"I feel effective classroom instruction, parental involvement and the student's willingness to learn are important to student success," said Lovett. Sports captivate his leisure time, specifically golf, but he also makes time to play the piano. His wife, Caprina, is employed with Randolph County Elementary and they have two children, Kiara, 8, and Jordan, 5. VanEssa Lewis will be a sixth grade language arts teacher with a bachelors degree in middle grades education from Georgia Southwestern University, a masters degree in school counseling from Columbus State University and a specialist degree from Troy State University. Lewis' classroom techniques include lots of hands-on experiences for her students. "Children learn best by doing," said Lewis. Her husband, James, is employed with Calhoun County High School and they have three children, twins, Christopher and Christian, 17, and Christina, 14.
"I like the concepts of brain-based education and firmly believe in active learning," said Richards. "Students are successful when they understand the relevance of what they are learning and how it applies to them." Her husband, Billy, is a teacher at ECHS and their son, Charles, will attend Auburn University in the fall. Letitia Blackmon joins the staff at the middle school as a regular education teacher, ISS coordinator and special needs teacher with 19 years experience. She holds a bachelor's degree in language arts from Alabama State University and is from Shorterville. Multiple approaches to learning can be expected in her classroom. "I would say that I use any and all methods of teaching because the method depends on the content to be taught," says Blackmon.
