Described as a lifelong
learner, Miller is a member of the Forsyth County Association of Educators
(FCAE), where she serves as the ESP Instructional Director. She also is her
school’s building representative and is the secretary for the state’s Education
Support Professionals Division of NCAE.
As an EC teacher
assistant, Miller provides support to students with special needs by helping
them develop skills to build their independence and well as complete day-to-day
instruction. She also encourages students with positive feedback and works with
them on ways to enhance their communications skills and advocate for
themselves.
The Linda Rader
Professional Opportunity Award is named for former NCAE President Linda Rader.
Historically, she was instrumental in the merger of the predominately
African-American North Carolina Teachers Association and the predominately
white North Carolina Education Association, which came together to form NCAE in
1970.
Miller was presented
with the award and a $1,500 cash prize by NCAE President Mark Jewell during the
Association’s Summer Leadership Conference in Raleigh. It is her dream to
pursue a degree in education.
NCAE is the state’s
largest education advocacy organization for public school employees, and
represents active, retired, and student members.
