JUSTIN LEFEBVRE

Teacher
Pequannock Township High School
Nominated By: Lee Ann Brensinger

Justin’s Cornerstone class is a life skills program where he coordinates on and off site opportunities for disabled students to interact with staff, students, and the public. For example, they may visit a grocery store to shop for the items they use in classroom food prep or go to the park to practice social skills. He arranges employment opportunities and has created a coffee cart program where staff can purchase coffee and baked goods prepared by his students. Justin also runs a Teaching and Learning Academy allowing students to learn teaching strategies, create lesson plans, and work with teachers throughout the district. He has also helped to develop the Unified Sports Program in the school which brings disabled and abled students together to participate in various sporting events and is run through the Special Olympics.

Join WMTR and the New Jersey Education Association in celebrating the critical role teachers and school employees play in their classrooms and in our communities.
