With 25 years of educating under her belt, Tina Scott is an experienced teacher. She has helped hundreds of students obtain their high school equivalency.
“Teaching takes a level of patience, grace and flexibility that few have. Tina has it all. She is one of our diamonds and sharpens everyone around her,” said Ogeechee Technical College (OTC) president, Lori Durden. “Recognition for her years of service and instruction in adult education are long overdue.”
Scott is an adult education instructor at OTC. Her colleagues are nominating her for the 2023 Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) Office of Adult Education Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award.
A resident of Sylvania, Scott is active in her community and exemplifies excellence in her field.
“This was an easy choice for me,” said Samantha Smith, dean of adult education. “I nominated Tina without hesitation because she not only meets all the requirements set forth by TCSG for the award recipient, but she is a dedicated instructor and fierce advocate for her students and the adult education program.”
The award recognizes and honors the most outstanding adult education teachers who make significant contributions to the field through instruction, innovation, and leadership.
TCSG will select four regional teachers and one state winner. Administrators will declare the winners at the 2023 EAGLE Leadership Institute in Atlanta on March 1 and 2.
The award comes with a $500 cash prize for the teacher and $2,500 for the teacher’s program for curricula materials.
