A Pinson Elementary School teacher was recently honored at the annual Jefferson County Schools annual celebration as being a valuable mentor for new teachers.
Second-grade teacher Leslie Chatta was one of the honored mentors. Being a mentor means that Chatta helped never-before-taught teachers to create successful lesson plans, develop good discipline techniques and have effective classroom management.
Chatta received a book of teacher wisdom and quotes for understanding the classroom better from Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Stephen Nowlin.
