Teacher Spotlight: Principal Dr. Tracey Severns & Hands on Learning Opportunities

I recently had the incredible opportunity to meet Dr. Tracey Severns on an NETC Teacher Convention in London. Her positive outlook and upbeat personality were infectious. Speak with her for five minutes and you'll see she is a Principal who is passionate about her students' education. So it's no wonder Tracey has been honored with not one, but three awards! She received the Katherine Goerss Leadership Award as the middle level Educator of the Year, New Jersey's Elementary Visionary Principal of the Year as well as NJ's National Distinguished Principal of the Year. Pretty impressive!

Tracey was kind enough to share with us the reasons she travels with her middle school students on educational tours. Take a moment to watch and learn about why active participation and hands on involvement are so important to her, both in school and on an educational tour:

Tracey is an enthusiastic traveler and believes in the importance of travel in creating well-rounded global citizens. She travels with her middle school students and enjoys traveling in her personal life as well. She told me a story about her husband giving her a map as a gift. She pinned all the places she'd been on the map and as they both looked at the completed map, her husband remarked, "Look at all the places you've been!" Tracey's response, "Look at all the places I haven't been!" As someone who loves the adventure and excitement that come along with discovering a new destination, I wholeheartedly agree with that statement!
