(Oct. 13, 2016) The Worcester County Education Foundation recognizes Staci Stonnell as Pocomoke Elementary teacher champion.
Stonnell is currently the Pocomoke Elementary School Teacher of the Year 2016-2017. She earned Bachelor degrees from Salisbury University in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, and is certified in Special Education. She also earned a Master’s of Education in School Counseling from Wilmington University.
Stonnell will begin her seventh year of teaching in the Worcester County Public School System (WCPS). Her experience includes teaching at the high school level, second grade, and currently Kindergarten at Pocomoke Elementary School.
She has enjoyed teaching an after school program called the “Coding Club” where children learn pre-computer programming skills.
Stonnell is an active member of numerous school and county committees, leadership teams and mentor programs, including a parent workshop on social emotional development.
An early childhood advocate, Stonnell’s passion for teaching extends beyond content. She strongly believes that by “building relationships and guiding young children to believe in themselves, every child has the ability to grow, learn and care.”
As a teacher champion, Stonnell will act as a liaison between Pocomoke Elementary School and the Worcester County Education Foundation (WCEF). The mission of the WCEF is to create equal access to a first class education. By bridging community resources with the needs of county schools, every child can have access to the learning tools necessary, in order to succeed.
Working on the front lines, teachers like Stonnell have a unique perspective of current and evolving needs of students, teachers and staff, which allows the WCEF to more accurately define priorities and offer additional support where it is most needed.
