Congratulations to Chemawa Middle School teacher Amber Carrow, who has been named one of three Riverside County Teachers of the Year! Amber now is in the running to be named a California State Teacher of the Year! I am so proud to count outstanding educators such as Amber as part of the RUSD family and Riverside community. You can read more about Amber and the other two Riverside County Teachers of the Year by visiting the RUSD Newsroom.
Amber has been a member of the Chemawa Middle School staff for the past six years. She is known for developing exciting lessons for her seventh-grade world history students that are sprinkled with information from her world travels. Those include a recent trip to Nova Scotia as an Earthwatch fellow. She also models the importance of community service as the Cesar Chavez Service Learning Club advisor. Amber is passionate about her job and stays focused on doing the very best for her students, every day. In this difficult time of budget woes, it is refreshing to know that we have many staff members like Amber who know what their mission is and seek to fulfill it every day.
Amber is an excellent choice for Riverside County Teacher of the Year. She is passionate about World History and brings much of the story of her subject to life because she has traveled to many of the locations she teaches about. It has been fun getting to know Amber through our Teaching American History program last year (as well as in our pacing/curriculum committees) and see her be challenged to make the connection from World History to the US curriculum.
