Caring about students also means expecting great things from them.

Congratulations to Amanda Crocker, Norwich Regional Adult Education’s 2025–2026 Teacher of the Year. 🎉

Amanda represents the kind of educator adult education needs right now: thoughtful, adaptive, student-centered, and always pushing herself to make learning more meaningful and effective.

Her classroom is never static. She builds lessons around real student goals, adjusts to the personalities and needs of the people in front of her, and creates an environment that is both academically strong and genuinely engaging. Students trust her because they know she is invested in helping them move forward — not just checking boxes.

What makes Amanda stand out is her combination of creativity, drive, and vision. She is constantly thinking about how education can work better for today’s learners and how programs can continue evolving to meet a changing world.

We’re excited to see her step into an expanded leadership role next year as ESOL Program Lead, where her energy and ideas will help shape the future of the program.

This recognition is incredibly deserved. Congratulations, Amanda! 🚀

More Than a Day 🌎

🌍🍃🌟Earth Day is a reminder—but the work happens all year.

Just a couple of weeks ago, ten ESOL students (and Program Leader Katrina Bercaw!) spread out across our campus—front, back, along the fences, and even under the ramps—to clear litter and restore the space.

✨🤩Their effort made an immediate difference. It looks better, feels better, and reflects the pride they take in their community.💪💪💪

Katrina leads this cleanup each year, bringing the same environmental commitment she lives every day into our program—and our students show up right alongside her.

After weeks of hands-on training, instruction, and preparation, students are now:
✔️ Providing direct patient care
✔️ Practicing vital skills in a real healthcare setting
✔️ Building confidence and professionalism
✔️ Making meaningful connections with residents

These clinical experiences are where everything comes together—transforming knowledge into real-world impact.

We are so proud of our students for their dedication, compassion, and commitment to entering the healthcare field. 💙

💥💥💥Learning, Leading, and Leveling Up💥💥💥

Last week, Norwich Regional Adult Education staff attended the Connecticut Association of Adult & Continuing Education (CAACE) Conference—an inspiring day of professional learning, collaboration, and new ideas.

From digital literacy and workforce development to classroom engagement and innovative program design, adult educators from across Connecticut came together to share what’s working and explore how we can continue strengthening adult education statewide.

We were also honored to have Ned Lamont in attendance—highlighting the importance of adult education and its role in strengthening Connecticut’s workforce.

Opportunities like this allow our team to learn from others, reflect on our own practices, and bring back new strategies to better support our students.

We’re proud to be part of a community committed to growing, improving, and expanding access to adult education across Connecticut.
