SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio — With school back in session across Northeast Ohio, we wanted to do something special for those teachers who continually go above and beyond in the classroom.News 5 anchor Mike Brookbank caught up with our third finalist, intervention specialist Jane Rohfeld. She made a mid-life pivot to help position every child for success.
“If that happens in second or third grade, by sixth grade they're so far behind that it's a real challenge to get them back to where they need to be,” Jane said. “The buses came to pick up students and my car was gone,” Jane said. “It was there at 12:30 when I came back from lunch. There was a pile of glass, where my car had been."Her daughter wanted to ease the sting of that experience by entering her into our News 5 Teacher Surprise Car Giveaway.The submission went on to say Jane is an outstanding educator who goes above and beyond for her students.
