To many of us, the teachers who leave the deepest imprint are the ones who turn the everyday rhythms of school into moments that matter.
This year’s recipients of the President’s Award for Teachers are eight such outstanding educators. At first glance, their classroom may look like any other. But so much else happens: the planning, learning, trialling, collaborating and facilitating. Not to mention the countless conversations and acts of care that all add up. And this is just for their students.
What about the work they do to shore up their profession and build up their colleagues and peers?
The effort that our eight recipients put in every day is not always obvious, but its impact stays with their students and colleagues long after.
