Bill Ferriter
Salem Middle
Ferriter is a sixth-grade Language Arts and Social Studies teacher, who helped to open the new middle school and has been a teacher for 12 years.
Salem Middle principal Matt Wight says Ferriter is passionate about teaching and learning.
"Bill is constantly pushing students to stretch themselves," said Wight. "Bill's classroom is active, lively and engaging. He has the rare gift of being able to match the students' enthusiasm, and channel them into classroom activities that build on their energy and excitement."
Ferriter has worked hard to develop ways for teachers to share their experiences. Working with the Department of Recruitment and Retention, he created a digital forum that Wake County candidates for National Board certification can use to seek advice from certified teachers. He actively participated in the Teacher Leaders Network, which uses technology to link beginning teachers with established teachers who offer advice. He worked as a Teacher in Residence for the Southeast Center for Teaching Quality helping to analyze the results of the 2004 Governor's Teacher Working Conditions Survey.
Ferriter is a leader at his school who is passionate about using technology to enhance teaching and communication. He earned National Board Certification in 1997.
