A+ Educators: A World-Class Tribute to Our Best Teachers

by Randy Howe

What makes a great teacher? While there is no particular formula, one thing is Great teachers are worthy of the respect and admiration of students, parents, and colleagues, and should be publicly recognized for the love of learning they inspire. A+ Educators profiles seventy-five amazing classroom teachers who have received recognition on the state and national level. These are just regular folks who have accomplished extraordinary things in the classroom, in the community, and the eyes of their students. In short, inspiring portraits describing how each winner was selected, what attracted him or her to the profession, and a definitive teaching moment (and offering advice to new and veteran teachers alike), each award-winning educator comes to life to inspire generations of teachers to come. Interwoven throughout are comments from the teachers themselves, their colleagues, administrators, parents, and the children whose lives they touch every day.
