A select group of America's teachers are being honored by their toughest critics -- their former students, in the seventh edition of Who's Who Among America's Teachers, 2002.
All of the approximately 114,000 teachers being honored were selected by their former students who themselves are currently listed in Who's Who Among American High School Students or The National Dean's List, publications which recognize 5 percent of our nation's high school and college students respectively.
Parke Dave, publisher of Who's Who Among America's Teachers said, "there is no greater honor teachers can receive than to be recognized by former students for their excellence and dedication. In this publication, we clearly have the best teachers in America selected by the best students."
The students were requested to nominate the one teacher from their entire academic career who "made a difference in their lives" by helping to shape their values, inspiring interest in a particular subject and/or challenging them to strive to excellence.
Many of the students commented about the enthusiasm and knowledge their teachers demonstrated in the classroom, and many praised their teachers for their ability to relate to youngsters on a personal as well as a professional level.
Local educators honored in the 2002 edition include: Patricia Edmondson of Glenwood School, and JoAnn Hamilton and Shirlee Jellum of Columbia High School.
