2009 National Teacher of the Year
"A teacher must project passion in the classroom because this powerful emotion sparks the learning process in children and motivates them to remember key concepts and ideas," says Anthony Mullen, who was honored by President Obama as the 2009 National Teacher of the Year. Mullen climbed the list of contenders (and came out on top) because of his innovative approach, community service, and work with other teachers.
Although Mullen didn't start off as a school teacher, he has spent the majority of his life working in the public sector. Once a New York City police officer, he now helps young people in the classroom. A high school special education teacher at The ARCH School in Greenwich, Connecticut, Mullen began a year as an international education spokesperson on June 1, 2009.
The National Teacher of the Year Program is sponsored by the ING Foundation and is a project of the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The prestigious honor is the longest-running awards program for teachers.
Since we're right on the cusp of a new school year, perhaps now would be a good time to consider ways to make a real impact on the lives of your students and the community. If you're passionate and dedicated to making a difference, consider applying to become next year's Teacher of the Year. Perhaps your inspirational words will make a difference in the outlook and lives of other teachers and students.
