  • Erin Dyer, Belleville Elementary School

    On February 25, 2011, Erin C. Dyer, speech/language pathologist for the School District of Belleville, received the Honors of the Association from the Wisconsin Speech/Language Pathology and Audiology Association (WSHA) at the annual convention which took place in Stevens Point, WI. Erin's 30+ year career has involved working with children who have communication disorders. In the 1980s, Erin became involved with WSHA and served as a Vice President of School Services for three terms. In addition, she served four terms on the Legislative Council of the American Speech, Language, Hearing Association (ASHA). Her goal was to support and demand respect for her dedicated colleagues who work in the public schools. She was instrumental in establishing and serving on the Board of the Special Interest Division 16 for School Services. Her specialty is working with children and adults who stutter. It is with a heavy heart that she has decided to retire from the position she has enjoyed since 1983 due to the current state of affairs in Wisconsin. When accepting her award, Dyer encouraged her fellow speech/language pathologists and audiologists to take care of themselves, take care of each other, and to let their voices be heard!

  • Elizabeth Jorgensen, Arrowhead High School

    Elizabeth Jorgensen has changed the English education culture at Arrowhead High School from one of just large classes being taught traditionally to a panoply of choices and learning opportunities. Her on-line summer school classes have not only given students flexibility to work and earn credit in the summer, but also freed them to find room for other classes on their schedules and given them experience in the cyber world of today's economy. Her hybrid classes have given the students more one on one time with the teacher to develop their writing. Finally, her college strategies classes have helped prepare kids who decide late in high school that college might be an option for the challenges of higher education. Ms. Jorgensen, with her expertise, energy and creativity is a model for future educators.
