Bill Rembert Sr., an art teacher at Wheeler High School. has been honored by the Georgia Art Education Association.
He is the 2023 recipient of the association’s Croy West Special Needs Art Educator of the Year Award, according to the Cobb County School District.
That goes to an educator for how they support special needs students.
A former special education teacher, Rembert collaborates with departments throughout the school, including special education, “to ensure all students can share their voices and feel the impact of art in their world,” the district release said.
Those projects include the creation of a sensory art space for special education students.
“Mr. Rembert works to show his school community the importance of art in their day-to-day lives through the installation of murals, display of work throughout the building, and inclusion of a variety of contemporary artists into his lessons. Mr. Rembert has always worked to create a sense of unity and connectedness in his classroom by showing students how all voices are welcome and needed in art spaces,” said Laura LaQuaglia, the district’s supervisor of learning design and visual arts.
He will be formally honored at the GAEA conference in November.
