Ms. Chamberlin is an AMAZING teacher and i can't express that enough, she is hard working and very driven, she wants nothing but to help you and watch you succeed. She has the biggest heart and I don't know what I would've done without her last year! She has a very unique way of teaching and she really does take you by surprise she is the reason i'm so successful today, Thank you!
Ms. Chamberlin is a great teacher. she gives multiple sources and summatives during the school years, and doesn't stop until we get an exemplar. She spends a lot of time working with students, and lets us use supplies from the classroom. she teaches her students in a fun way of understanding, and she works to keep her students safe. An awesome teacher, so glad ive had her for a middle school teacher.
Jody loves what she does and she expresses that in all she does. Always thinking of her students and how she can serve them better. I have seen her work hard for her students and co workers outside of her classroom and school time. Her energy and dedication to teaching is amazing.
Congratulations Mrs. Chamberlain you are truly a inspiration to all of your students and us parents in these hard times nice to see you and others going the extra mile to truly make a difference.

Ms. Chamberlin is the best teacher. She supports her students when students need help. She makes the work that we do very clear. She works hard to keep everyone safe because of covid. She brings masks that her mom makes to school. She not only is the best teacher she is an amazing person. She makes sure her students know what to do and when the deadline is. She also brings fun to the classroom, which is necessary during covid. She should win because she deserves it.
Ms. Chamberlin is the best Social Studies teacher ever!! I think Ms. Chamberlin also helps her students out with essays and more. Our school loves Ms. Chamberlin a lot. she is amazing with school and students.
Ms Chamberlin is an amazing person and teacher she is very suportive and loves to help. she always makes the class laugh. she always has a positive attitude. She always knows the answers to peoples questions. Every class she has a plan and extra plans if things go wrong ( like we go into online learning). As my advisor we always play games and we have a kind of relax time before online working. on stressful tests or summatives she does breathing exersizes with the class.
You are the best Ms.Chamberlin
I've worked with Jody as part of the 6/7 team for many years. She always goes above and beyond for her students and coworkers. I really can't overstate the impact she's had on our school community and am truly grateful to call her my teammate.
Mrs. Chamberlin, you are an amzing teacher and you are funny.
You are an amazing teacher and you are a hard worker
Go, Ms.Chamberlin!!!!!!!!!!
Jody chamberlin is a kind and thoughtful teacher. She will help any also go out of her way to make sure people have everything they need to be safe.
I have worked with Jody for 3 years now and she as been an wonderful role model for a newer teacher like myself. Her number one priority is her job and her students, and she cares for her students like her own children. She works tirelessly to provide the best opportunities for these kids and puts in so much effort to be an amazing teacher! Our team at school would be nothing like it is if it wasn't for Jody, and I am proud to be on a team with such an amazing educator!
I have known Jody for years, and I can honestly say that she is one of the most dedicated teachers that I have ever met. Jody gets excited about figuring out the just-right way to connect with students. She's the person who even when she's home sick, she's online because she doesn't want to miss a moment where she could be connecting with her students. She really loves the students she teaches and cares that they achieve to the best of their abilities.
Jody teaches middle school. And for anyone who has ever spent any amount of time with middle school children, you know they are going through a tumultuous period. When you walk into Jody's classroom, a sense of calm washes over you. You know that you're entering a place where the expectations on you are high, but they are clear and the people in this room will support you in getting there. Jody creates this safe space for every student.
Jody changes students' lives. She is a teacher.
I concur with Ms. Badeau's recommendation and only wish I were as eloquent because Jody IS the epitome of a compassionate, globally aware, and inspiring teacher. She has high expectations for herself and for her students, and her students rise to those expectations! She teaches them the skills and habits that will benefit students not just in the school setting but will benefit them throughout their lives. In addition, she creates creative and coherent assignments that push students to explore and to ponder and to synthesize. She is present for her students: she engages them and encourages them and loves them. If we were all so lucky to have Jody Chamberlin as our teacher!
I can attest to everything in here about Ms. Chamberlin's ethic and character. I've watched her plan and wish I could have had her as my middle school teacher! Every student is clearly valued and Ms. Chamberlin goes above and beyond every day.
