It's time for another teacher appreciation moment! Say hello to Connie Griffore, Careers in Education/Teacher Academy Instructor at the Saginaw Career Complex.
Connie has worked tirelessly to innovate within her program in response to the teacher shortage we are facing in education. Two years ago, her program was approved to offer a CTE Early Middle College track, offering students a jump start to their career as a teacher at no cost to them. Just this year, a second track was added, focusing on early childhood. These opportunities were designed to mitigate student barriers and were coordinated with two post-secondary institutions.
Connie is extremely involved at the state level with curriculum development for her program and is regarded as one of the best CTE instructors for Education in the state. Connie embraces challenges with a positive mindset and ALWAYS goes the extra mile for her students. Mrs. Griffore exemplifies not only what an outstanding teacher should be, but the kind of teacher we would all want for our own children. Thanks for everything you do Connie! #SaginawISD #SCC #MIteachAppreesh #ThankATeacher
