About Amber
Amber Venoutsos is second-grade teacher at Hazardville Memorial School in Enfield. She loves the energy of young learners, and her classroom is full of laughter and connection. At the heart of Amber’s teaching philosophy is the belief that when students feel valued, they experience more success.

Amber’s vision has enhanced students’ sense of connection at school and empowered students to participate in meaningful community service projects.

She serves the Enfield Public Schools community in various capacities, including committee work on curriculum development, school-based PBIS, and trauma-informed classrooms. Amber is an after-school tutor, and a mentor for both CT TEAM and the CT Teacher Residency Program. She is also a member of Alpha Delta Kappa.
