The Washington County Career & Technical Education Center is so proud to recognize Mr. Stan Green as our 2016-2017 Teacher of the Year!
Mr. Green serves the CTE Center as a Special Education Teacher. He has been with us for five of his nine years with Washington County Schools. Mr. Green says that he enjoys the freedom of working outside the box in his daily work with our students. He says that in teaching a student with a disability, creativity must be an intriguing part of the journey. It’s not easy, but Mr. Green says he enjoys being able to look at a student’s IEP, analyze and digest the accommodations, and then work with the student to try to make the disability and curriculum expectations mesh for success. Mr. Green is a very personable and approachable teacher. He loves working with teenagers and it shows. Students and peers alike feel comfortable in working with him, seeking his advice, and always enjoy his positive attitude.
Mr. Green decided to become a Special Education Teacher because of his sister, Diana, who was always a bright spot in his life. He was very interested in how Diana’s education had to be more individualized to meet her needs. So, it was just natural, that when he arrived at Tennessee Technological University, the Special Education Teaching Department seemed to be a great fit for him.
In addition to teaching, Mr. Green serves as a pastor at Pleasant View United Methodist Church and is currently working with the Knoxville Area Rescue Ministry in Knoxville, TN. He and his wife, Regina, have eight sons, whom they have adopted. Mr. Green says that he has a wonderful family and that he is the richest man he knows!
Congratulations Mr. Green! The CTE Center is very lucky to have you!
