Gibbs Named Teacher of the Year for Georgetown Elementary

Brandon Gibbs, a 2015 graduate of Delaware Tech's elementary education program, was recently named Teacher of the Year for Georgetown Elementary School. Gibbs is a 5th grade elementary education teacher.

Despite not being named Teacher of the Year for the Indian River School District, Gibbs was ecstatic to be selected to represent his school.

"It is an honor to be recognized for all the hard work that you put into your daily lessons and relationships that you have taken the time to build with the students, staff, and the community," he said. "It is an incredible award that I will always cherish."

After graduating from Delaware Tech, Gibbs worked as a special education paraprofessional at Morris Early Childhood Center in the Milford School District while pursuing his bachelor's degree at Wilmington University. He started working at Morris in January 2016, and barely a year later, he was notified that he was named Paraeducator of the Year for the school. A few months later, he was named Paraeducator of the Year for the entire district.

In 2018, Gibbs started working full-time for the Indian River School District as a fifth-grade special education teacher at Georgetown Elementary School.

"Elementary school is where they learn all of the fundamentals, so I would like to continue to have an impact on that," Gibbs said. "It is rewarding when you get to see kids understand and comprehend the lesson and watch them come in every morning excited to learn."

Gibbs' interest in becoming a teacher first started with his senior project in high school. He created a project that he taught to his peers, and he really enjoyed the process of putting together a lesson plan and explaining it to others. He also worked at the Boys & Girls Club in Dagsboro and always enjoyed helping kids learn.

"I thought how great it would be to teach them every day and be a positive role model for them," he said.
