WABI covers teacher pinning ceremony
WABI (Channel 5) covered the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development’s second annual Pinning and Recognition Ceremony, which recognizes new teacher candidates. “We talk about teaching as a vocational calling, and so we want to do things to help our students understand that this choice that you make to work with children, to work in a teaching and learning field pays sort of lifelong rewards through honor, recognition, dignity and they’re going to pass that on their students,” said Justin Dimmel, associate dean for academics and student engagement.
