Westminster Latin Teacher Named Connecticut Language Teacher of the Year
Westminster School Latin teacher, Maureen Lamb, a resident of Avon, has been named Connecticut Language Teacher of the Year 2016-2017 by the Connecticut Council of Language Teachers. She will now represent Connecticut in a national 2018 Teacher of the Year competition conducted by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
Maureen, who is in her eighth year teaching Latin at Westminster and serves as interim head of the Language Department, is known for her dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism. She has significantly modified the Westminster Latin curriculum and started a chapter of the Junior Classical League, where her students have won top prizes in the National Junior Classical League Creative Writing Contest.
Maureen often gives presentations, prepares videos and writes about the use of technology in the Latin classroom. She has a very active Twitter handle, blog and YouTube channel where she posts ideas about various technology tools. Last year, she was the recipient of the Classical Association of New England’s 2016 Matthew I. Wiencke Teaching Award, and in 2010, she was awarded a Klingenstein Summer Institute Fellowship.
Maureen earned an A.B. in Classics with a double major in music at the College of the Holy Cross and a M.Ed. at The University of North Carolina Greensboro. She is an active member of the Classical Association of New England, the American Classical League and the Vergilian Society. She also is a board member of the Classical Association of Connecticut.
“I’m thrilled to be representing Connecticut Language teachers this year, and I’m so grateful for the support I have received from my colleagues, students and students’ parents in achieving this honor,” said Maureen.
