Queensbury Middle School special education teacher Joel Gordon has been named the TCT Teacher of the Week.
TCT and Adirondack Broadcasting honor local school employees who make a positive impact on their students and school communities. Each week during the school year, one recipient is selected and announced on air.
Gordon, a two-time winner, was nominated for going above and beyond for his students.
“He is excellent at explaining the material covered in class in a way his students can easily understand and ensures they stay on track with their work,” according to the TCT website. “Mr. Gordon also provides snacks for the entire class, helping the students stay focused and energized. His patience and kindness make the classroom environment welcoming, and he makes learning enjoyable.”
