🌟 We are excited to recognize Martin Burke, Art teacher at Western Branch Primary, as our final Teacher of the Year finalist spotlight!
A Savannah College of Art and Design alum, Mr. Burke brings 21 years of teaching experience to Chesapeake Public Schools, having taught 18 years at the high school level before bringing his magic to elementary students. His innovative spirit shows through his achievements: He wrote the curriculum for the first-ever animation course in Portsmouth Public Schools, sponsored award-winning animation clubs, and is a two-time recipient of innovator grants! 🎨
Mr. Burke's philosophy is as unique as his teaching: "A Big Mac shouldn't compare itself to a Whopper, make your own Flavor! And create something the world has never tasted."
His superpower? Silliness! His advice to fellow educators? "No job is stressful if you're prepared... Have a great lesson plan, work it out and run it through 3-4 times and you will have a classroom that is buzzing!"
Mr. Burke, thank you for 21 years of innovation, creativity, and joy! You remind us that learning should be fun and unforgettable! 💙💛
