Our SEVA Teacher of the Week recognizes teachers that go above and beyond when it comes to media, and Joann Darrow is the perfect example. Mrs. Darrow from Del Paso Manor Elementary School in the San Juan Unified School District has been teaching for 17 years and has made an everlasting impression on her students. She was awarded the 2018 Allan Hinderstein Award for her commitment to integrate videos as a tool for opening a world of learning possibilities for her students. It’s this commitment and her excitement about the future of media that makes her truly great. She is always looking to grow and change with her students and knows the value that students feel when they are a part of something bigger than the classroom.
Mrs. Darrow has learned that not only is she teaching her students, but they are teaching her at the same time, and they are often times the best teachers! When speaking to the students in her classroom, each one had their own story about how Mrs. Darrow had helped them grow their passion for media. Our SEVA program would not be the same without her and the over 130 videos her students have entered since 2012. Thank you, Mrs. Darrow for all that you do and for being such a great contributor to the SEVA Program!
