FROM 1A Wright their feet wet and then go back for their masters, but I was going in and trying to apply a lot of the things I learned in the books,” Delaney said. “My first position was with EBD, or emotionally and behav- iorally disordered, stu dents... which was pretty extreme to be my first job.” Since that first teaching job, Delaney has now moved out of the class room and serves as a pro gram specialist, assisting Langley in the Exceptional Children department. In this role, she said that her career path and knowledge she learned through positions like that challenging first job have really come back to help. “It kind of came full circle with the behavior because I’m now the first call for administrators to assist teachers with possi ble strategies to use with their kids and interven tions that might become more successful in the classroom,” Delaney said. “My favorite days I get to go into classrooms and assist.” Langley said that Delaney was chosen for the award because of the hard work she does to ensure that every student can be as successful as possible. “She just goes above and beyond,” Langley said. “She’s always there answering questions for teachers, she really gets in the boat with them, she works with kids individu ally even though her job is compliance a lot of the time but she’s there work ing with teachers, teach ing kids and involved in their meetings and just supporting the entire pro cess from beginning to end.” Delaney said that, while she would much rather be the person giving the award than receiving it, it feels good to know that the hard work she does is making an impact on stu dents, parents and teach ers in the school system. “All I want to do is facilitate and help people with the needs of the stu dents that we have and the parents as well, so it’s great to know that they think I’m helping enough to be deserving of an award like this,” Delaney said. “I just take a deep breath and appreciate the love and the appreciation that people have for me; it has been nice to feel that and receive it.” The biggest honor, she added, is receiving an award with Philip Wright’s name on it. “He is just an inspira tion to special education, so what’s really honorable is that his name has such honor with it and his name just tracks so much respect,” Delaney said. Delaney, along with the other districts’ Philip Wright award winners, will go to a regional event in March to be presented with the official award. brother, Calvin Leach.
