Teacher of the Month: Karen DuCharme

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

Karen DuCharme's integrated life skills class is designed to prepare all students for the world post high school.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Mount Greylock Regional School life skills special education teacher Karen DuCharme has been selected as the April Teacher of the Month.
 
The Teacher of the Month series, in collaboration with Berkshire Community College, will feature distinguished teachers nominated by community members. You can nominate a teacher here. 
 
She has been a teacher for 24 years, starting at Pittsfield High School, and has been at Mount Greylock Regional School for the last 11 years. 
 
"I always say that I didn't really choose special education; special education chose me," she said
 
DuCharme initially wanted to be a physical therapist, but the universe had other plans for her. While attending Pittsfield High School, she did not want to have a study hall, so she opted to take an Introduction to Special Needs class. 
 
From there, she knew that a career as a special education teacher was the right choice for her. 
 
"Even when I was a student, I gravitated towards other students with different needs and tried to help them and wanted to help them," she said.
