Keeping children moving and enabling them to realize that they can do things and that they should feel good about themselves.
Biography Excerpt:
As a physical education teacher working with the students of Ringwood Public Schools (including the handicapped), Elizabeth M. Redner is driven by a strong desire to see her kids succeed, particularly in today’s climate of non-vigorous activities such as Internet browsing and video game playing. Ms. Redner's focus on the needs of the children, combined with her ability to help them set goals and feel good about themselves, have made her the toast of Ringwood. “Sometimes these kids want to give up because everybody else is getting ahead of them,” she tells Cambridge during a recent interview, “but that’s when I step in, walk with them and tell them, ‘You’re doing great! Just keep going!’”
