Sycamore Creek Elementary 1st Grade Teacher Hannah Rowe recently received the 2021-22 Diane Kent-Parker First-Year Teacher Award for Wake County Public Schools.

Every year the district honors a group of outstanding teachers from elementary, secondary, and special education. According to the school district, these teachers are recognized for navigating the challenges of a new job with grace, skill and confidence – and they serve as models for their colleagues and inspiration for their students. "From day one, Ms. Rowe has stood out as a humble and gracious leader, and it is clear the moment you step into her room that she is a natural-born teacher,” said Sycamore Creek Elementary Principal Melody Brunson. “She has created an inclusive classroom culture where students feel accepted and are comfortable taking risks. She is dedicated, reflective, grounded in best practice, and a caring member of our school and community."

In addition, Rowe was ready, willing, and able to jump right in from day one with a vision of the perfect classroom she wanted to create,” Brunson added. “Her classroom environment is very nurturing and fosters a love of learning for her first grade students every day. I am very impressed that she prioritizes direct instruction and modeling as well as specific learning targets to make learning meaningful for her students."
