Deborah Brown (high school math), Tracey Greene (fifth grade), Jo-Ann McCauley (retired, high school foreign language), and Sarah Kate Moody (fourth grade) were all selected after completing a detailed application process through GISA this past spring.
To be accepted into GISA’s Master Teacher program, candidates must submit a detailed application. Applicants must also submit a portfolio of three tangible examples of outstanding work related to the classroom and to sharing and collaborating with other educators. The final part of the application is an unedited video of the candidate’s classroom teaching utilizing best practices and five letters of recommendation from colleagues, administrators, parents, and students.
“We are delighted that the GISA has acknowledged the hard work of these committed educators through the new Master Teacher program,” said Chris Cleveland, Wesleyan Head of School. “Deborah, Tracey, Jo-Ann, and Sarah Kate are outstanding classroom teachers and have been impacting the lives of Wesleyan students for many years. They are each deserving of this honor.” Wesleyan School is a Christian, independent K-12 college preparatory school located in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. At the start of the 2018-2019 school year, Wesleyan enrolled 1,177 students from throughout the metropolitan Atlanta area. To learn more about the school, visit
