District 214 educators honored for innovation and impact

When she was superintendent, Dr. Elizabeth Ennis encouraged new and creative methods for improving student learning and achievement.

To recognize the innovation that was initiated and flourished under Dr. Ennis, District 214’s sixth superintendent, the Board of Education in 2005 created an award in her honor.

Each year, every District 214 school nominates one individual for the award. A District committee – composed of a Board of Education member, principal, support staff, licensed educator and central maintenance personnel – reviews each nomination and selects a recipient for the Dr. Elizabeth A. Ennis Innovator Award.

This year’s recipient is Rolling Meadows Special Education teacher Gina Seaton, for her work in creating the Fine Arts Workshop, serving the needs of special education and general education students together. Read the stories of how each individual has created innovative programs and practices that enhance education and help students find success.
