Teacher quality is one of the most critical elements of student outcomes and our teacher preparation program produces some amazing teachers. For the past two years we have asked them to share their success and you can see just a sample of the accolades our teachers have received listed below.
In addition to these awards, two of our teachers, Jonathan Claydon of Spring Branch and Cara Johnson of Allen, have been named as finalists for the 2015 Presidential Award in Math and Science Teaching (PAEMST)! The final 2 winners will be announced by the President this summer.
We are so proud of the efforts our teachers and the recognition they receive for working so hard for our students! Truly amazing efforts by our Teachers of Tomorrow!
