Stephanie Berry, a product of the UNLV College of Education, was recently named the Clark County School District New Educator of the Year. Stephanie just completed her first year at Basic High School in Henderson where she teaches English courses and is actively involved as a member and advisor for student extracurricular activities. Stephanie was recognized for her integration of technology into the classroom as well as her innovative approach to education.

It is a collaboration of about twenty higher education institutions, education agencies, and non-profit organizations across the United States. Project mNET offers recent graduates, non-education professionals, and paraprofessionals with career or background experiences in science, math and English with the opportunity to become an alternatively licensed teacher of record (TOR) in Clark County School District middle and high schools.
