The district must also achieve a value-added rating of four or more stars. At the school level, Dover High School was among 311 individual schools to receive the honor.
Dover City Schools’ literacy teachers were recognized at the State’s Annual Literacy Academy Lab in Columbus. At the event, Sarah Wolfe, elementary reading teacher, Mandi Robinson, second grade teacher, and Lindsay McIlvaine, literacy coach, shared advice for reading specialists and classroom teachers to help struggling readers.
During a keynote presentation with Ohio Teacher of the Year, Melissa Kmetz, Dover was featured in an “All-Star Video” presentation. In addition to Wolfe, Robinson, and McIlvaine, EL Coordinator Britni Toukonen, and teachers Teresa Midkiff, Jeremy Evans, Ben Bartholomew, Gannon Petrullo were featured in the video.
