EDU Student Honors Field Placement Sponsor Teacher with a "Golden Apple Award"


Dorrean Nelson, an EDU major, recognized her field placement sponsor teacher with a Channel 8 “Golden Apple Award” on March 17, 2010.  Dorrean is completing 60 hours of observation and service learning in Mr. Matthew Fink’s fifth grade classroom at Munn Elementary School in the Spencerport School District.  Dorrean’s daughter, Pa’Seana, was a student of Mr. Fink’s several years ago.  Dorrean valued Mr. Fink from the parent perspective but is now experiencing what it is like to be a teacher with him.  After seeing him in action from the teaching perspective, she nominated him for the “Golden Apple Award”.  Mr. Fink was featured on Channel 8 on March 30, 2010.  Congratulations to Mr. Fink and Dorrean for making a difference in the lives of future teachers and children in Rochester.
