Rochelle Stanfill was among this year’s recipients of the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute’s (EI), Teachers of Excellence Awards. The Teachers of Excellence Award recognizes exceptional teachers who use the Lodging Management Program (LMP) school-to-career curriculum in their classrooms. Developed by the American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute, LMP prepares high school students for the job market and higher education through coursework, work experience, credentials, and scholarships. The winners extended the program’s curriculum by motivating their students to participate in internships and by using guest speakers, field trips, and other opportunities within the lodging industry to make the program even more successful.
