Meet Edie, the instructor who guides students through our Bridge to CNA program!

Bridge to CNA is designed for English language learners who want to become Certified Nursing Assistants but may need extra support with English, healthcare vocabulary, test preparation, or entering the workforce.

Students build their skills step by step—completing Personal Care Assistant training and clinical hours, earning healthcare credentials along the way, and learning from experienced healthcare instructors, including nurses. They then move into CNA training, where they prepare for both the written knowledge test and the hands-on skills portion of the Connecticut CNA exam.

Students also receive help with résumés, job preparation, and overcoming the challenges English learners may face when beginning a healthcare career.

Interested in joining Edie’s next class? Complete our class interest form now: https://adulted.norwichpublicschools.org/class-interest-sign-up

Registration appointments begin in mid-August. This program is for eligible ESOL students, with eligibility determined during registration and placement.

Caring about students also means expecting great things from them.

Congratulations to Amanda Crocker, Norwich Regional Adult Education’s 2025–2026 Teacher of the Year. 🎉

Amanda represents the kind of educator adult education needs right now: thoughtful, adaptive, student-centered, and always pushing herself to make learning more meaningful and effective.

Her classroom is never static. She builds lessons around real student goals, adjusts to the personalities and needs of the people in front of her, and creates an environment that is both academically strong and genuinely engaging. Students trust her because they know she is invested in helping them move forward — not just checking boxes.

What makes Amanda stand out is her combination of creativity, drive, and vision. She is constantly thinking about how education can work better for today’s learners and how programs can continue evolving to meet a changing world.

We’re excited to see her step into an expanded leadership role next year as ESOL Program Lead, where her energy and ideas will help shape the future of the program.

This recognition is incredibly deserved. Congratulations, Amanda! 🚀
