Napoleonville Head Start Teacher is Semifinalist for Top State Award

Napoleonville Primary School Head Start Teacher Janie Clement is a semifinalist for the Louisiana Early Childhood Teacher of the Year.

Janie Clement, Head Start teacher at Napoleonville Primary School, has been named a semifinalist for the state’s top Early Childhood Teacher of the Year.

Clement is one of five teachers from across the state, and one of only two Louisiana Head Start teachers, who will be honored at the 16th Annual Excellent Educators Awards Gala in New Orleans on July 30, 2022. 

Clement has more than 14 years of experience as an educator in Assumption Parish.  She became a trainer on Implementing Teaching Strategies GOLD online in 2015. More recently, she has been showcased as a model classroom teacher for best practices on the LASARD (Louisiana Autism Spectrum and Related Disabilities) website.

In addition to being a very dedicated teacher, she shares her leadership duties and time as the president of the Parent/Teacher Organization for Napoleonville Primary and represented the district as an early childhood presenter at the Teacher Leader Summit in New Orleans in 2019.

“We can always count on Janie to help our program, staff, students, and families.  She is extremely knowledgeable of all aspects of the Head Start Program and very generous with her time to support others. Her caring attitude and superior knowledge of the curriculum makes Janie truly stand out as an outstanding teacher.   She is well deserving of this honor,” Assumption Parish Preschool Coordinator Rachel Dugas said.
