In the picture below, you can see my 17-year-old grandson, Andy, teaching math to a boy who has autism. He attends a High School in Pittsburgh, where one of his teachers was awarded the teacher of the year award by People magazine (2012). This teacher prepares teams (my Andy belongs to one of them) in order to help peers with specials needs. I’m proud of my grandson and of his teacher as well!!!! =)
PEOPLE’s “Teacher of the Year” Awards honors extraordinary educators – nominated by readers and selected by PEOPLE’s editors with guidance from an all-star advisory board of education professionals – who are changing the lives of their students and paving the way for a new generation of Americans. Each winner receives $5000 ($4000 for their school and $1000 for themselves).
“We all remember those special teachers who changed our lives, who helped us achieve, who set us on a path to becoming successful adults,” said Larry Hackett, managing editor, PEOPLE.
Did you know…?
“Has Autism” versus “Is Autistic”; A
muddled debate
“Math” or
“Maths”, what is the correct one?
