Pulaski County Special School District recently announced Jeanie Wilcoxon, a fourth grade math teacher at Chenal Elementary, as its teacher of the year.
Wilcoxon, above, has been in education for 24 years and has previously been a coach, a tutor and mentor teacher.
Wilcoxon started at Chenal Elementary in August 2011.
“She has a natural ability to make complex mathematical concepts accessible and engaging to young learners, fostering a love for math that extends far beyond the classroom,” Yolanda Harris, principal of Chenal Elementary, said in her recommendation letter. “One of Ms. Wilcoxon’s greatest strengths is her ability to differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of her students. Whether it's through hands-on activities, interactive games, or personalized learning plans, she ensures that every child has the opportunity to succeed and thrive in mathematics. Her classroom is a vibrant and inclusive learning environment where students feel valued, supported, and motivated to excel.”
Wilcoxon was selected out of 27 other PCSSD school-level winners and will now move on to represent the District in the 2025 Arkansas Teacher of the Year Program.
In addition to receiving a plaque, each school winner will receive a check for $100. The District winner will receive an additional check for $500.
