Ocean City

The Association of School Business Officials of Maryland and the District of Columbia, ASBO MD/DC, is pleased to announce that Michelle Shearer, recently named by President Obama as National Teacher of the Year, will be the keynote speaker at its luncheon meeting on Monday, May 23, at the Ocean City Convention Center. She will speak at approximately 12:45 p.m.

Shearer, the Maryland Teacher of the Year as well as National Teacher of the Year, teaches Chemistry at Urbana High School in Frederick County. She holds dual certification in both Chemistry and General Special Education and has a Master’s Degree in Deaf Education as well as degrees from Princeton University and McDaniel College. She is passionate when it comes to teaching “scientists of the future” and believes Chemistry is “everywhere for everyone.” Her rewards come from seeing students of all backgrounds and abilities – including those with special needs – connect with science in a personal way.
