My weekly email from The Education Trust linked this article today about science educator, Tamica Stubbs. This Charlotte, NC teacher is no joke. She racks up grants, fellowships, and awards to give her students opportunities seldom found in high-poverty schools. She isn't bemoaning lack of resources, administrators that stand in her way, or the fatigue of teaching students identified by the masses as "at-risk". Instead, she is using energy and love to teach her students the skills they'll need to be successful in college and compete in a global society. She knows (and says so in the article), "If you grab their attention, you can teach them anything you want to."
I think I'll start to highlight more teachers on this blog who are doing what works. Sometimes we all need a little inspiration.
