Radnor High School teacher Carl Rosin was one of three teachers honored by the Department of Education and Counseling in Villanova University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with the Teacher of Courage and Conscience Award.
Rosin coaches the Ethics Bowl, sponsors the Gay-Straight Alliance, and serves on the Honor Council. His exemplary teaching had been previously recognized with the 2012 Delaware County Excellence in Teaching Award and the national Knisely Award as High School Philosophy Teacher of the Year in 2014.
Villanova’s award was created to honor teachers who
- Improve access to high-quality education for those students who are currently least well-served
- Advocate for the education profession
- Encourage student curiosity and love of learning
- Use innovative teaching strategies, engage students in meaningful problem-solving, knowledge-production or artistic work
- Embody and put into practice Villanova’s values of Veritas, Unitas, Caritas (truth, community, love).
The honorees were recognized at the Department of Education and Counseling’s 58th Annual Cooperating Personnel Dinner. During the dinner, the award recipients, along with administrators from their school or district, were treated to special video presentations, in which their students and colleagues spoke to the lasting difference each has made.
