  Mrs. DRAKE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Susan Bailey-Scott of 
Virginia Beach, Virginia, upon receiving the Commonwealth Academy 
Recognition for Educators (CARE) Award.
  The CARE award honors outstanding educators who work to enhance the 
lives of their students. This year's honorees are recognized for their 
unrelenting work to enhance the lives of the students they serve. It is 
presented by Commonwealth Academy, located in Alexandria, Virginia, and 
honors those committed to diverse learning throughout the nation. Susan 
Bailey-Scott, a middle school math teacher at Ruffner Academy in 
Norfolk, Virginia, is honored for her work in promoting diverse 
learners in the spirit of the No Child Left Behind Act.
  Ms. Bailey-Scott has been teaching for nine years, including two 
years in Japan. She received her B.A. in Business Administration from 
James Madison University and her master's in Education from Old 
Dominion University. Ms. Bailey-Scott also has completed some post-
graduate work at Old Dominion and William and Mary.
  Ms. Bailey-Scott is the Math Department Chair at Ruffner, and she is 
very active in teacher training. She has been a cooperating teacher 
with both Norfolk State University and Old Dominion University teacher 
candidates and has been a presenter at numerous education conferences.
  Ms. Bailey Scott has won a variety of awards for teaching, including 
Who's Who Among America's Teachers and Norfolk Public Schools District 
Teacher of the Year.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in applauding Susan Bailey-Scott and 
congratulating her on this distinguished achievement.
