consider Claudia Chaffee, a veteran technology instructor at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. During her 25 years at the school, she learned and mastered sign language. More recently, she started a conflict-resolution program for middle school girls and a project in which her students videotaped interviews with successful deaf leaders in the community.
Sicat and Chaffee were among 14 winners of the 2006 Boston Teachers of the Year award, presented last week by the city of Boston, the School Department, and the Boston Teachers Union
Chaffee, who started her career as a typing teacher 31 years ago, now teaches computer skills. But her greatest strength is in building rapport with her students.
``She sees the possibilities in everyone: students, co-workers, and the wider Boston community," according to Karin Tuttle, one of Chaffee's colleagues at Horace Mann.
