                       TRIBUTE TO JEANNINE ABADIE

Mr. RUBIO. Mr. President, today I recognize Jeannine Abadie, 
the Walton County Teacher of the Year at Emerald Coast Middle School in 
Santa Rosa Beach, FL.
  Jeannine is always working to help her students better understand 
mathematics and to improve her classroom to better suite their needs. 
She recently created a video app that provides tutorials for students. 
She specializes in curriculum design and assessment analysis for her 
math classes.
  Jeannine also mentors her colleagues in lesson planning and student 
achievement. She provides support and professional development for her 
colleagues to ensure their students are well equipped for high school 
and their future educational careers.
  Jeannine is a math instructor at Emerald Coast Middle School and has 
taught there for 7 years. Previously, Jeannine taught algebra at 
Northwest Florida State College. She received her master's degree from 
the University of West Florida in mathematics and statistics and will 
soon graduate with her second master's degree in instructional design 
and technology.
  I convey my best wishes to Jeannine for her outstanding work as an 
educator. I look forward to hearing of her continued success in the 
years ahead.
