“It was evident how much she truly cared for our child,” one parent shared. “She went above and beyond at every turn, and she didn’t just teach our child, she helped him to feel safe, to feel loved, to succeed, and to thrive during an extremely challenging year. We will forever be grateful to her.”
Ms. Vogel’s dedication to every child she teaches and cares for at the Ralph Bunche Center, where she has worked for the past two years, led to her selection as the CCSD Preschool Centers Teacher of the Year. Ms. Vogel is renowned among Special Education educators throughout CCSD for her successes at the preschool centers and her previous tenure at Dean Rusk Middle School, for sharing her best practices and for helping develop new initiatives and resources.
“She has a constant desire to improve her craft,” CCSD Preschool Centers Principal Debbie Ritter said. “She teaches her students to strive for excellence, be kind, and develop a love of learning. She influences all of us, her colleagues, to give our best to the students, have faith, and remember we can weather any storm to produce rainbows and new growth.”
In her own words: “Tomorrow’s society will be more inclusive and innovative if schools facilitate meaningful conversations and listen.”
