I am writing this letter to nominate Laura Durbin of West Kentucky Community & Technical College for the teacher of the year award. She is of the best teachers I have ever and will ever come across. What I most regard about Laura is her exceptional ability to stimulate learning in students and add personality to the course contents. All students can feel optimism and energy radiating from her teaching. Laura also has a dynamic style of teaching that makes her students to listen actively to her.
Laura does not only teach well, she also cares so much about the understanding of each student in her class. She is a genuine, personal, enthusiastic and optimistic individual willing to help students by going beyond the call of duty. She is an exceptional teacher who takes extra effort in ensuring that students in need of extra help are accommodated in her teaching despite her busy schedule. She is also a master in the art of reaching struggling students with complete professionalism, and simple yet profound empathy and motherly instincts.
Laura also spends time giving feedback on all assignments and provides individualized feedback to every student concerning their strong and weak points. Laura Durbin is an excellent role model teacher who shows devotion and selflessness to West Kentucky Community college, her students and her coworkers, Laura is a source of inspiration for many students. She inspires and positively impacts all the people she meets every day in her teaching profession. She is always updated about the latest instructional technologies and teaching methodologies. Laura has a calling for teaching, and highly deserves the best teacher of the year award.
