💙📚 Teacher Tuesday: Mr. Jason Barbour — Cape Fear Middle School

Mr. Jason Barbour teaches at Cape Fear Middle School and is in his fifth year of teaching. He is known for setting high expectations for his students and finding different ways to help them understand the material and succeed in the classroom.

Mr. Barbour believes every student is capable of learning and works to create an environment where students are encouraged to do their best. He also maintains regular communication with families, keeping them informed and involved in their child's education.

What stands out most about Mr. Barbour is his attention to what's happening in his classroom. He is observant, addresses concerns when they arise, and works to make sure students have a safe and respectful place to learn.

One colleague shared that they've seen Mr. Barbour step in on multiple occasions to address bullying and reinforce expectations for how students treat one another. He takes those situations seriously while continuing to encourage students to make good choices and stay focused on their learning.

💛 Thank you, Mr. Barbour, for the support, accountability, and care you provide to students at Cape Fear Middle School!
