Louisiana’s Teacher of the Year

Third Grade English Language Arts Teacher Carla Zea Jackson from

Bains Elementary

By Patricia Stallman

Teach every moment“I cannot ever imagine leaving

the classroom. I love the energy of the kids and how every day is dif-ferent. I have the privilege of go-ing to a job where I get to nurture and inspire children each and ev-ery day. How lucky I am!”

Louisiana’s Teacher of the Year, Carla Zea Jackson of Bains Ele-mentary School in St. Francisville, demonstrates in an interview the enthusiasm, the total involvement in the present moment that allows her to inspire her students.

“My advice to a new teacher,” she says, “is that quality is more important than quantity. Teaching is not just about checking tasks off a lesson plan. Teaching is what you’re doing at every moment and requires your total involvement in the moment. Sometimes, to reach your goal, you may need to take a path different from what you in-tended.”

Create a classroom family“I tell my kids, ‘We are a family.

We are one unit.’ In my classroom, I give my students unconditional love. Sometimes I’m going to fuss and correct and give consequenc-es, just as mothers do. I will also praise and reward and congratu-late. I do this because I believe in each child; I believe in each child’s worth and potential. I want my stu-dents to have that relationship not only with me, but also with their peers, to protect and take care of each other. The most rewarding thing is when you see it happen: Students coming together and truly behaving as a family.” And in that safe, nurturing environment, chil-dren learn.

Look at each child individuallyIn her beginning years as a

teacher, Jackson learned from her students that a great teacher “needs to look at each child individually.” She learned that making connec-tions and relationships with stu-

dents and their lives was an essen-tial part of teaching.

“Once, when I wanted to moti-vate my kids to read, I said, ‘If you read a certain number of books, I’ll take you to the movies. But first, you have to reach your goal.’ Re-gina came up to me and said, ‘Ms. Zea, I know I’m not going to make it to the movie, so I want you to tell me about the movie.’”

After a bit of back and forth, Jackson—then Ms. Zea—real-ized that the child was not asking which movie would be the reward; Regina had never been to a mov-ie theater and wanted to know all about the experience. “You see,” Jackson says, “Regina was a strug-gling reader and had already given up when her teacher gave her an unattainable goal.

“I was sad that I had made her feel defeated. I was not meeting her needs,” Jackson says. “I told her, ‘I’m not going to tell you about it…you’re going to go.’” Realizing that setting one goal for the entire class had done nothing to address Regina’s needs, Jackson met individually with Regina and every other child in the class and set a goal that was reachable, yet challenging, for each one.

“Regina read at recess; she brought books home. With deter-mination and pride, Regina met her goal.

“When we picked her up for the trip to the movie theater, she was all dressed up. I was determined that she would experience not just the movie, but the popcorn, the drinks, the whole thing. I couldn’t even watch the movie. All I did was stare at her. She was experiencing a first, for which she thanked me over and over. But it was I who thanked her. Regina taught me that I needed to look at each child indi-vidually.”

Norwood First Baptist Church VBS Both Fun and Filling

The First Baptist Church of Norwood held its Vacation Bible School from July 7 through July 11. Member Jennie Jelks reports that the motto of the week was Discover, Decide, De-fend, from 1 Peter 3:15. Assisting Brother Wilson were VBS Director Pam Lockwood, Recreation director Kimmi Sellers, and Music Director Kathy Rish, assisted by Vicki Garig, who taught the children to sign to the music. Bible Study teachers Charlene Netterville and Susan Thompson organized the eyewitness encounters with several Bible characters. Kathy and Kell Rish, aka Agent Double Z and Hacker, put on nightly skits. The groups rotated sessions in Bible Study, music and sign language, and recreation, and included pre-school, first through third grade, fourth through sixth grade, and seventh grade and above. Church members also provided a Louisiana cuisine supper nightly for all who attended.

As usual in the Town of Jackson, at least 30 residents and visitors at-tended the monthly town meeting at the Jackson Fire Station on Charter Street.

Present were Mayor Charles Coleman, Town Clerk Sandy Smith, Town Attorney Andy D’Aquilla, and Board of Trustees Members Don Havard, John Henry McCro-ry, Jim Parker, and Rafe Stewart. In the audience were Chamber of Commerce President Martin Mac-diarmid, Town Marshal Fred Allen, Town Maintenance Director Alan Passman, Firefighter Cheryl Scott, and, on the agenda, residents Becky Newsom, Dexter Stevens, neigh-bors Bessie Foster and Brenda Nor-flin, and Dianne Jackson, well as Judicial Candidate Sydney Picou. Also present was District 2 Con-stable Cliff Morris.

Resident Becky Newsom, who said she lives in the Tombs subdi-vision, lodged a complaint concern-ing late-night noise she reported as caused by “trail riders.” The row-diness is similar, someone said, to that from an all-night bar. Newsom appealed to the mayor to inform the celebrants that “there’s a limit to how far noise can go,” referring to both decibel level and distance.

Mayor Coleman, head down, re-marked that the town had had “no other complaints.”

From the audience came, of Newsom’s report, “It’s not true any-way.”

The group, however, cheerful as always, moved on, though exhibit-ing the old-time manners of listen-

Town of Jackson Meeting: Thanks Goodness for Small Townsing to each other and taking each concern seriously.

Resident Dexter Stevens came forward to report “a person and his wife” who had accosted his “grand-babies,” who had “come to dump two bags of garbage” in what they thought was a town dumpster, only to be “jumped and run off.”

The mayor noted that the town “is paying for” the dumpsters.

Trustee Don Havard drew the line firmly: “Anything the town has belongs to everyone in Jackson.”

Stevens reiterated that the behav-ior of the couple was “uncalled for.”

From the audience came, “Did you call the police department?” to which Stevens replied, to an over-all rumble of approval, “Ma’am, if I coulda got there, I wouldn’t had to.”

Next to address the Board was resident Bessie Foster, who, with her neighbor, Brenda Norflin, was present to report an invasion, into Foster’s yard, of another neighbor’s bamboo. When Foster showed au-dience members photographs, the group turned quiet.

“Got to kill it,” Foster said, “but

JACKSON continued from page 1

Jackson was an “amazing” autis-tic child named Waites. There was much about Waites, Jackson says, that she wanted to fix and change; however, she came to the realiza-tion that first she had to make the adjustment to him. She had to learn everything about him and develop a good communication system with his parents. One adjustment for Jackson was that Waites wrote only by using a label maker. As much as she wanted to take it away and make him write, she knew she had to use baby steps to help him change.

Each day, she says, he would punch in his letters, tear off the strip with the words, and paste it onto his paper. Then, one day, the label maker broke. “We were all in a panic!” Jackson says.

“With hesitation, I asked his mom not to order the label maker; however, Waites did not know that. He asked each day when it was coming in. I kept saying, ‘Soon, Waites…it’s coming soon.’” With time, effort and much guidance from Jackson’s co-teacher, Chris McDougald, who specialized in special education, “we were able to make small steps of progress towards overcoming this student’s difficulties with writing.

“First I asked him to write just one or two words, and he did, re-luctantly. Gradually, he was able to write more and more. Each day he made some progress, and Mrs. McDougald and I praised him con-stantly.

“In fact, one day the student himself said, ‘Ms. Jackson, I don’t need my label maker. You can can-cel the order.’ What a proud mo-ment. We all celebrated that vic-tory.”

This young man, now 17 and a student at Hope Academy in Ba-ton Rouge, is, Jackson says, im-mensely talented. “He’s phenom-enal; he makes things with his hands that are truly artistic. He is extraordinary in more ways than one. He will be famous one day; I just know it. And I will be able to say that I taught him in third grade, and he made me a better teacher.”

Slow down their world and move the classroom outside

Jackson wants her students to put the academic skills she teach-es them to practical use outside the classroom. “I want them to be

good problem solvers, good listen-ers; I want them to communicate effectively.

“I want them to be deep critical thinkers,” she says. To accomplish that goal, “I must slow down their world,” she says, referring to the technology available even to her third graders. “I have to teach stu-dents to be patient and good listen-ers. I want them to have meaning-ful conversations with each other.”

Jackson cites the garden spots that many Bains third-grade class-rooms nurture. Andre Brock, who is with the Louisiana State Univer-sity AgCenter, visits once a week, along with master gardeners, to teach the students about plants. “He asks what I’m teaching that week and relates his lessons to it.” Jackson moves her class outside to plant, measure, and learn real-life

skills, and Brock ties the outdoor work to the academic.

“He has us eat from the vine. And we bring the vegetables in-side, cut them, make a vegetable pizza, and bake it, all of which in-volves students working together. Most of them would have never tried a vegetable pizza. They loved it.

“Once I made a turnip green soup. The kids said, ‘We’re not eating that!’ Then they tasted it and wanted more; it was phenom-enal.”

As a reading and English Lan-guage Arts teacher, Jackson says, “I love to read; I love authors. I love the power of words. Ev-ery year we read Pink and Say, which is about two young men in the Union Army at the time of the Civil War. By the end, I am boo-hooing. And I have demonstrated the power of words.” Jackson says that the discussions her students have about what those words mean to each of them “is so enlighten-ing. All of the children can have a different perspective and can re-late the words to their own lives.

“Like other Bains third-grade classes, we publish books, two a year, and send them to the pub-lishing company to be bound.” For the first book, which has a differ-ent focus every year, each student has a page. The third-grade class of 2010—11 wrote and published The Louisiana Alphabet Book, for which children wrote poems and painted pictures.

De Aryn wrote, for the letter “H”:

In Children, Where Are You From? 2013—14, Brandon writes:

Brandon, Where Are You From?Brandon, where are you from?

Where are you from, Brandon? I am from playing football games every Saturday and Sunday morn-ing keeping the offense from scor-ing, helping my team score, and trying to score a touchdown from a kickoff return. I am also from rid-ing a big yellow bus Monday—Fri-day to Bains Elementary ready to learn. I am from sizzling hot days, driving to the snowball stand, and getting a tiger blood snowball that is so superior and good.

Brandon, where is that place? Where is that place, Brandon? It’s where the great Audubon Bridge is not that far away. It’s where you can go right in the center of town, find the Ford car dealership, and get yourself a nice shiny car. It’s where everyone’s like family, and it’s called St. Francisville.

Brandon, who are you? Who are you, Brandon? I’m that foot-ball playing, big yellow bus riding, snowball eating boy from a place near the Audubon Bridge and the Ford dealership where everyone is like family in a town called St. Francisville. That’s who I am!

For the school year’s second

book, Jackson says, the children write individual books describing their own mother and receive a copy to take home for a Mother’s Day gift.

Make kids whole“Every child, like all of us, has

broken parts. I talk to my kids about my own struggles; I want them to know they are not alone. I tell them to never be ashamed. I try to make them more confident so that they can begin to believe in themselves, just as I do. From the day I discovered I wanted to teach, I wanted to fix children’s broken parts. I wanted to make them whole.”

That day occurred when the sister of a fellow LSU student Jackson was dating asked her to help with a project for her first-grade class. “I thought, Oh, great. I guess I’ll do it.” When I arrived at the classroom, I thought, “This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen…the little work stations, the post-ers. As I was helping Stacey, I saw that some of the children wanted to talk to me and interact with me. Others reminded me of myself as a child; they were quiet. I knew that they did not wish to call atten-tion to themselves. My heart just ached.”

Jackson explains, “Growing up, I was a very good student, and I made very good grades—all A’s—but I was very shy. I would raise my hand for the one-word answers. I did not feel that I had a voice and didn’t feel confident enough to discuss my opinions.”

At some point between her sixth- and eighth-grade years,

the teachers at St. Francis Xavier in Metairie began telling her that good grades were not enough. “All of the teachers helped me to come out of my silence, to find my voice and communicate with people.” After middle school, Jackson at-tended Seton Academy in New Or-leans, then LSU in Baton Rouge, where, after changing her major from engineering to education, she earned both her Bachelor of Arts and her Master of Arts in curricu-lum and instruction, the latter with an emphasis in reading.

Louisiana’s Teacher of the Year

Jackson’s first teaching posi-tion was at Zachary Elementary School from January of 1993 to May of 2003. That August she ac-cepted a position as a third-grade teacher at Bains Elementary in St. Francisville.

In 2013, Jackson’s peers at Bains nominated her for Louisi-ana’s Teacher of the Year award. The West Feliciana Parish School Board received the top three parish nominations and, after interview-ing the nominees in December of

2013, selected Jackson.After completing and submit-

ting the Louisiana Teacher of the Year application, she learned in early 2014 that she was a semifi-nalist and, later, a finalist, one of 10 teachers in the state. Next, she interviewed with panelists at the Louisiana State Department of Education. On Saturday, July 12, 2014, Jackson was named State Teacher of the Year.

She will next compete on the national level and will learn the results of that competition in April or May of 2015.

it takes two—I can’t do it by my-self.” Foster continued, “Since my mother’s day, that ditch has been cut by my family members.”

Town Attorney Andy D’Aquilla asked, “Whose ditch is it?”

Audience members replied, “It’s not in the ditch; it’s in the back yard, from Darryl’s place.”

Foster explained, “It’s the town’s ditch, but I’ve been cutting it. You want to keep the town beautiful, don’t you?” Foster’s point was that if her family helps the town with its ditch, perhaps the town should help her remove the neighbor’s alleged invasion of her back yard.

Town Maintenance Director Alan Passman told Foster, “We cut the grass (alongside the road); we will cut the ditch, but the ditch be-longs to the highway department.”

D’Aquilla told Foster that if the matter involved two neighbors and not the town, discussing it at a public town meeting was “not ap-propriate…. Call me at my office tomorrow morning and I’ll be glad to talk to you,” he said, giving her the telephone number.

The mayor, long known for his

dry wit, cautioned Foster, “Get to-gether a big pot of money first.”

Next on the agenda, Maintenance Director Alan Passman reported that the town is developing the Town of Jackson Website, which will allow residents to pay their water bills

online. Trustee Rafe Stewart noted that he had heard discussion of post-ing the town ordinances on the site. Others suggested adding financial reports and as much town informa-tion as possible.

Under “Old Business,” Dianne

Jackson commented on town safe-ty and beautification needs. First, Jackson said, she had “received in-formation that y’all are trying to do something about the bridge,” which is on Walnut near “old Jackson High.”

The mayor said the town had re-ceived a bid, but that it was “mighty high,” and that Richard Dudley, for-mer town maintenance director and now Jackson Fire Chief, had offered to do the work for “less that half of that.”

To an audience query of “Half of what?” the mayor answered, “$43,000.”

“That’s still $22,000.”Coleman continued, “He said

he’ll do the work for what we were paying him when he retired.” As Coleman and Havard discussed hir-ing Dudley, Parker asked if Dud-ley’s bid covered the same work that the $43,000 bid listed. When others seemed uncertain of the answer, Parker suggested that the Board first “see his plan on it” before hiring the Fire Chief.

Jackson continued with her beautification and safety checklist, pointing to the eyesore of “cars off Highway 10 that are not running. The guy says that’s his business. Do I have to file a complaint, or do we take that up under the ordinance?”

Town Attorney D’Aquilla in-structed Jackson, “Come to Town Hall tomorrow and I’ll have the forms up here at 8 a.m.”

The mayor said, “Better come at 10.”

Town Clerk Smith said to D’Aquilla, “Just fax the forms.”

Thanking D’Aquilla, Jackson said, “He never looks like he’s dis-appointed when you pile more work on him.”

Next, Jackson turned to the pot-hole on Highways 10 and 68. She said of the town representatives, “You created that problem and you should fix it,” adding that a friend had patched some of the worst pot-holes with material he had on hand and had said that if the town would provide the materials, he would patch all of the holes. “They’re tear-ing up everybody’s cars,” Jackson said.

Parker suggested asking Pass-man to “go out and examine” the holes, and “if it’s our problem, we’ll fix it.”

Regarding the repair of the town maintenance building, Smith report-ed a low bid of $11,566 from Mick-ey Bowen. Parker asked whether the bid specified exactly what the repair included and learned that it did.

Town Marshal Fred Allen re-ported issuing 22 tickets in June for speeding, shoplifting and breaking into cars. Recent car thefts occurred in Shadowbrook, Allen said, advis-ing residents, “Lock your cars. If you hear noise outside your house late at night, call us.” In answer to an audience question, he added, “We’re pretty sure the thieves are juveniles.”

Finally, Parker made the an-nouncement of the night: Former Governor Edwin Edwards, he said, will visit the Town of Jackson Tues-day, July 29, at 6:30 p.m. Edwards, a candidate for the Louisiana 6th Congressional District seat that Bill Cassidy will vacate, will be the guest speaker for the Democratic Parish Executive Committee meet-ing at the Jackson Civic Center. The committee, Parker said, will provide refreshments.
