Michelle Shearer was named the teacher of the year and was honored in a ceremony at the White House recently. Within this next year, she will be touring around the country to encourage other fellow teachers to focus on science, technology, engineering, and math; and make those accessible for all students, including those with special needs.
I think it's great to see a great teacher of her caliber to be recognized nationally at the White House. This just shows how the leaders of this country respect teachers and it's awesome to see some good in the news in spite of changing system and economic turmoil. I'd like to see more stories like this in Education Week so that the image of the teaching profession can gain more appreciation and the light be shone on towards kids and the citizens of this great country. This should be a reminder of how lucky we are to live in such a freer nation than many others around the world.
