Educational philosophy: “We are all life long learners from the sandbox to the pine box.” (Jerry Hughes, former community educator and MN legislator)
Most significant career accomplishments: “I provided leadership and encouragement for staff to become culturally competent. And I was co-constructor of our district’s Logic Model, which provides direction for our desegregation efforts,” says Chesner. “I believe I had a significant influence on our school improvement model, resulting in increased test scores and improved building climate.”
