Caldwell County Schools announced Wednesday that high school agriculture teacher Magen Woods has been selected for XLR8 — the eXcellence in Leadership for Retention professional development program.
School officials say the XLR8 is a leadership program through the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE). The XLR8 is a year-long program that focuses on agriculture teachers with seven to 15 years of experience.
Woods was recognized by the Caldwell county School Board last month as the Tiger Testimonial Award recipient for September. The Tiger Testimonial Award is presented at the monthly school board meeting to a staff member who is nominated by parents, students, staff, and community members for demonstrating what it means to be a TIGER.
