Strawderman was recognized earlier in the year as a Clinical Teacher of Record, filling a vacancy in middle school math in Tucker County.

“We are incredibly proud of Wesley and the growth he has demonstrated throughout his preparation as a mathematics educator,” sayid Assistant Professor of Education and Chair, Teacher Education Melanie Gribble.

“Watching him develop into a thoughtful and skilled teacher has been a privilege, and this recognition highlights the high standards of preparation we value in the mathematics education program at ����vlog����.”

The Walter Regula Mathematics Teacher-in-Training grant is named in honor of Walter Regula, a Marshall University math education professor who also served as president of the West Virginia Council of Teachers in Mathematics.

The award is made each year to an outstanding college or university student who is training to become a mathematics teacher and who has intentions of teaching in West Virginia.

“It’s an honor to be recognized with this award,” says Strawderman. “To me, it represents not just past effort, but a responsibility to continue striving for excellence as a future educator.

“Meeting the criteria for this award reassures me that my dedication to learning, leadership, and service is making an impact. Most importantly, this recognition strengthens my commitment to give back to West Virginia, whether that’s through education, community involvement, or supporting the next generation.

“I’m proud to represent a state that has given me so much, and I’m motivated to give just as much back to it,” Strawderman said.

Our Education professors are very skilled in their field and they share with us the struggles and benefits of working in a public school. Many of the Education professors have taught locally and know how to teach us what to expect. I feel that each of the Education professors have such a passion and a spark for teaching. I love that they can openly share that with us. Their passion has inspired me so much. D&E has the best of the best professors. I am very excited to continue my journey through this department. Most of all, I am hopeful that I can become as wonderful of a teacher as my Education professors!
