NHCSS Teacher of the Year - 2008

The NHCSS Social Studies Teacher of the Year for 2007 is Bradley Wolff of Ashland Elementary School. Mr. Wolff’s selection by the NHCSS executive board honors his dedication to his students, his school, and the wider community. His focus in his middle-school classroom is always on applied learning through programs such as Mock Election, Operation Impact, and community-based service learning activities. These and other projects provide students with opportunities for real-world application of social studies skills and content, expanding the walls of the classroom into the community. Brad is also the primary architect of the K-8 social studies curriculum at Ashland Elementary, recognized as a K-8 school of excellence in 2007. He has shown through his dedication of time and effort the integration of learning across grade levels and disciplines. It’s telling that his recommendation comes from his colleagues in first grade and the learning center. In their words, he is a model of life long learning and civic engagement.

Mr. Wolff was honored at the Excellence in Education Award ceremony in June 2008 at the Center of NH in Manchester. For more information about the event go to the official website: http://www.edies.org/
