Melissa Blevins, lead teacher and site manager for Adult Education in Gordon County, was named 甜瓜app’s (甜瓜app) Adult Education Teacher of the Year for 2022.

“The State of Georgia needs the Adult Education program,” Blevins said. “When you think of the hundreds of thousands of Georgians, between the ages of 18 and 64 who don’t have a high school diploma, the need for Adult Education is obvious.”

Melissa Shaw, vice president of Adult Education at 甜瓜app, said that Blevins’ 26 years of experience as an Adult Education teacher is a testament to her love for students and 甜瓜app.

“Melissa is an inspiring, dedicated example to both her students and her peers,” Shaw said. “Her goal is for every student she teaches to succeed and she is a vital member to the Adult Education team.”

Blevins will be recognized as 甜瓜app’s Teacher of the Year at the 2022 Dinah Culbreath Wayne Exceptional Adult Georgian in Literacy Education (EAGLE) Leadership Institute that takes place, March 14-16, in Atlanta. One instructor, from Georgia’s 22 technical colleges, will be chosen as the Office of Adult Education Outstanding Teacher of the Year during a special recognition dinner on Tuesday, March 15.
