a teaching story by 360 Education Solutions | December 05, 2011
360 Education Solutions is proud to announce our winners for the 2011 Innovative Educator Challenge. We received a number of deserving individuals who have made a difference in the lives of many children, which made judging the entries challenging task, but we truly enjoyed having the opportunity to read all of the entries. Besides, it is not everyday that teachers are recognized for their hard work and dedication to the profession. This contest was an indication that our country's educators are caring and passionate individuals who strive to bring the children of America a quality education through innovative and unique method that will help them succeed in life.
Even though there may not be an easy solution for turning our education system challenges around, it is calming to know that we still have excellent teachers who still have a passion for teaching our children. We believe that these teachers will be the key factor in bettering our education system. They will be the ones to help make the changes our country needs to help our students once again earn the top spot in math, reading and science. It will be these teachers who will help our children be ready for the competitive future they will face once the graduate and become the global leaders we need them to be.
We know that remarkable teachers are really not so rare, but are found inside the classrooms in almost every single educational institution of every school district in every state throughout the country. Exceptional teachers can be found everyday, if you look hard enough and it is these teachers that give us hope for the future.
Thank you to the three selfless writers who thought it was important enough to take valuable time to nominate their "innovative educator" of choice. And, congratulations to our "Top 3 Most Innovative Educators".
Our 2011 Innovate Educator Challenge teachers and the winners of the iPad 2 are:
